Hi John Fantastic car, 1.2 petrol , 1996 with only 70,000 miles on the clock. Garaged overnight for its entire life. No rust. Thanks again

Hi john Thanks for reply. There is no immobiliser, alarm or central locking on the car and it takes 2 months roughly for the battery to discharge when the car isn't used. Cheers

Hi My late Dad's car (1996 Clio) sits in his garage and despite my best intentions to take it out for a run every few weeks to keep the battery charged I have resorted now to using a Silverline 634004 12 Volt Trickle Charger to help out. It claims a 12V and 500mA constant output. At the...

Hi I'm a novice at woodworking but would like to make a wall mounted storage unit for cds, clock, few books etc. I want one section to have a hidden compartment. The face of this section would be set back into the carcass and I would place a joint of some kind about which the face could...

Hello I have inherited a class of agricultural science students and we are going to use the school grounds to grow winter barley, wheat and oats. I'd appreciate any opinions regarding using raised beds and how deep they should be. I could also rotavate a section of a field. I am sowing the...

Hello Do metallic taps in a garden shed fed from plastic piping constitute an extraneous conductive part? Thanks

hello I have two plastic qualpex pipes coming into a garden shed connected to metal taps in a non metallic sink. Are the taps extraneous conductive parts? Thanks

Yeah she's pretty good at the flowers. thinking of starting business. R u an electrician?

Hello Thanks for asking. I've laid 6mm 3 core armoured xple cable (using 3rd core for earth) to the summerhouse from the sub cu in the outside study. i'll put a 32A mcb on the rcd side of the sub cu. In the summerhouse i'll place a small cu with 20A mcb for three double sockets and 6A mcb for...

hello again Thanks for your replies. i have verified that the earthing system is TN-C-S. Cheers

hello I want to wire a recently acquired summerhouse. I have a detached study which has a sub cu with plenty of free slots on both the non-rcd and the rcd sides. I propose to run 4mm2 cable a distance of 18 metres from the sub cu in the study to the summerhouse. i will protect the circuit...

Thanks for the reply. I'm using the triax 537 set top box to tell me the signal strength and quality. Cheers

I recently installed a freesat satellite and have aligned it in the 28.2 to 28.5 SE direction. I get 100% strength and quality from the astra 1n channels e.g bbc and itv but the max i seem to get from the nearby eutelsat channels is about 60/60 (with the exception of euronews which is 80/80). I...

Hi I recently purchased a combo set top box (Triax 537) which allows me to pick up the Irish digital terrestrial service. I notice that if I use certain electrical circuits e.g the shower, food processor and in particular the iron there is quite a lot of interference especially when the...

Thanks John original battery in car never changed (mileage 70000). car is idle for long periods. I have multimeter and will try as you suggested. What is HRW? Cheers

Hi I've had to jump start my Dad's car (Renault Clio 1996)every time I have gone to start it (3 occasions). I have driven approx 30 miles after jumping it on each occasion bur when I try to start it a few days later it is dead. Do I replace the battery or could the alternator be mal...

Thanks EFL That's exactly why I want a fused switch so that if someone comes to service the boiler etc they can isolate everything. I was enquiring about the double switch as if one existed it would make the job easier. It appears that I'll have to bring the t&e from the consumer unit to the...

The boiler and pump can be isolated by the double socket already there but the permanent live coming from the timer to the frost stat currently can not be isolated. I am also anxious to protect the entire circuit with a 3A fuse. Thanks

Hello Is it possible to get a fused switch which can have two serarate live inputs and two corresponding outputs. I want to put a switch in my boiler house which will isolate the switched live from my timer and also the permanent live which feeds my frost thermostat. Currently these can only...
