The wall is about 1.4m from the bath, so probably OK there OK, this I had no idea. I did see in the reviews of some of these seats that some had installed check valves (see for example here). Does this mean that it would potentially need to be fed from the water tank instead?

For a very very long time we've been pondering whether to install a Japanese-style bidet seat (something like this). The plumbing and installation part are relatively straightforward but it is the electrics that have given me pause for thought. Naturally, there is no plug in the bathroom, but...

Thought that I would post about the end of this story as there was a fair bit of discussion and it might be useful for anyone who might be in the same situation and stumbles upon this thread. I tried contacting all available breakers to no avail. Only got a couple of quotes for £180 and...

Yes, it is definitely not the part and I asked the seller for more pictures but they said they won't provide. And yes, that other eBay part is definitely it (identical and I even zoomed into the part number stamped and it's the same) but, as you say, it's already cut so not really a solution. I...

Thanks. I've asked for some additional pictures, although now doubting that it is the correct part. The shape of the pretensioner pipe seems different...

So, I think this was the problem. I think this was cut to reroute around this pipe and basically make sure that it snagged and didn't retract, instead of going through the plastic slot. See picture for the other side below: Also, do you have the link for that e-bay posting? I think that might...

Thanks. Very interesting website. However, thus far only one quote for £180, so let's see if something cheaper comes along. Was looking into this. Reasonable option £60+VAT to replace the strap. Only thing is that it will take about two weeks. In principle this is not an issue as, again...

Thanks. Yes, I think will probably go for a replacement. TBH, we rarely have people at the back so could live with it, but as I need to sort it out for the MOT (due in Feb) probably best to try to sort it out now. I guess my final question would be whether there are places that would just...

So, I've reached out to a couple of scrappers on ebay who both have told me that they've already sold the airbag kit, which makes me wonder that maybe these replacements are being done without much hassle? (Also starting to wonder if they will sell me only a single seatbelt...) Also, here's the...

It is an MK3 actually - post-face lift (2018), although I assume that in this respect all MK3s are the same.

I could try. I guess the only thing is that I would need to remove the plate altogether as I don't see how else I could feed the strap through the slot without cutting it again. Other belt is normal (see picture below) I'm starting to think about maybe checking with the breakers, see if I get...

Actually, the online MOT history said that there was a minor observation because seatbelt could not be checked because of child seat being present.

I've recently bought a second hand Honda Jazz. One of the rear seatbelts wasn't retracting (got a discount) and I initially thought that this was because the mechanism had broken. However, I had a poke around and it would appear that the seatbelt has been modified to go over the pre-tensioner...

Actually, not crazy. But we sometimes upgrade these things and sell the old ones so this might affect the ability to resell. But the idea dis cross my mind!

Thanks a lot for the replies! Learned a lot as always. I think I've found a better solution for the third plug - just use an extension lead from one of the outside plugs and hide it as best as possible. It was to be used with either a coffee maker or a microwave. And, to be clear, it was not...

I see. Just to be sure I understand, there is effectively a ring before the grid and each of the switches (and the socket downstream from it) is effectively a spur, right? Is there effectively an amp rating on each of these spurs?

Thanks. 32A on the MCB for all sockets in the kitchen, including these. Cooker and oven are on a separate circuit, i.e. that 32A MCB is for the fridge, washing machine, dishwasher, cooker hood, extractor fan and three pairs of sockets on the kitchen counter. Three cables go into the existing...

OK. That makes sense. I was checking and there are no spurs from the existing socket and as it's a new build (less than 10 years), I'm assuming it's not a radial circuit (which I understand is an additional possible complication). If I were to add a spur, does there need to be set distance...

Hmmmm. I thought that would be the case and that it wouldn't be so simple. Just to check, "a new socket as a spur from the existing", does that mean with a a suitable electric wire from one socket to the other or a new wire all the way from the fusebox?

Hi all. At present I have a normal double gang socket in my kitchen to which I have the washing machine and the dishwasher connected. These rarely if ever operate at the same time - but I guess it has happened. The max power rating of the washing machine is 2050W and the max power rating of the...
