very true! We shall see what they can do...

it's a Silenta M fan. I see now, it is AC.

I'm assuming white = live black = neutral and if wired the opposite way around, the motor will spin in reverse.

haha, yeah, it was hopefully a request for cables in... I was quoted £190 for the job, and to be honest, I was really taken aback. For something that I would imagine would take no more than 2 hours, £60 an hour?! (+ a few materials?) ...by the way, the extractor fan (new) has just two...

What should a reasonable quote be from an electrician to add a plug socket next to a light socket AND create wiring to an extractor fan? Not actually to install the socket or fan, I can do that.

Hi all, I have a bathroom switch on the outside of the bathroom wall. I want to add a plug socket near by. What can I buy that will allow me to split the cable off for two separate purposes? Many thanks.

Actually I'm thinking it may be best NOT to try the hard drive again. I've come across this company: Datatrack Labs who do hard drive recovery. I figured since it is likely a mechanical failure (or at least, it is now!) then may as well not provoke the situation further. I think the motor...

Thanks for your reply. Like I say, I've been connecting external drives for years without a problem. I didn't expect this one to go up in smoke! I was connecting it manually as the plastic connector broke some time ago. Does that sound like th PCB was frying or the hard drive motor was...

Very worried... I have my whole computer life backed up onto a newish hard drive, commercial projects, archived family home videos etc... today after 8 months of no use, i connected up the hard drive (externally) - which did involve putting the 4 serial ATA wire colours manuall into the power...

Hi all, I'm looking to spend around -+ £60 on some very comfortable, ideally snug earphones that I can also wear under my helmet while travelling about on my moped. Ideally noise cancelling, they also need to have very good bass. I principally listen to, and compose, latin house music. They...

these screws were BUGGERS!

I mustn't be doing that part right then because I had a junior hacksaw and a £1 big hacksaw. I broke the blade in the big one and gave up 3/4 the way through sawing one beam with the junior one. I notice the blade of the junior ended up rather twisted which didn't help. (I was probably sawing...

well, I just get the cheapest 6 panel moulded doors from Wickes, about £20 each! They do a 4 panel version too. Or £15 more for factory painted. They don't flex when pressed, and I've got hooks hung on them which seem fine. ...They do feel light however. But you can buy heavier more expensive...

Hi all, There was an old doorway in a concrete wall inside my house. I wanted to open it back up and put a door in there. I've removed the plasterboard, and found the cavity contains a *very* sturdy woodwork frame that I simply have not been able to touch! It is held together by screws...

how to disassemble this when the screws won't budge...

Thanks, I looked up the amp you quoted and sure enough, its in a similar line to those I found on Ebay too. Glad to hear you were happy with it! Incredibly, I found one selling for £10 in Portsmouth, two mile away! But I'll need to get hold of a power adapter too. :)

thanks, this is a good idea to go back and look for an amp. I also checked ebay and found a new mini stereo amp for £10! China of course, but I expect would do the trick nicely.
