The insulation os currently lifted from that particular section of the loft, until the lights get replaced at least.

Basically I need to replace my down-lights in my bathroom (one above shower)....They are just 5" in diameter and every shop I have been in dont stock such monsters......!

I cant see me fitting that new fan, not that great at the DIY thing. What size of elbow do I need ?

The lights were covered by insulation until I moved it.

Correctamundo, this is the transformer....

Yes, it goes through the loft space and out through the tiles. Here is the blasted thing....you can see, ive not got much for the ducting to grab onto.

Ive tried to re-attach the ducting (it goes out up towards the roof), but it keeps springing off, duct tape is not the answer, it wraps around the end of the duct and not onto the head. The other one in my main bathroom looks like the ducting is secured well past the plasterboard and kind of...

What claification do you need ? I am not an electrician, all I see is whats on the photos, I would however like to attempt to fix this myself.

Loft insulation keeps things warm ? Transformer lights generate alot of heat ? Heat burns things ! am I right ? Righto, the lights are 100% definatley lying underneath and in direct contact with loft insulation. How do I correct this ?

Ive had these weird spots appear of late on our en-suite bathroom ceiling. I have since been into the loft to see the flexible ducting hose detached from the unit head, this could be causing the mould as the ventilation would have been cut off. Is this a simple case of re-attaching and...

I have some spot lights in a small ensuite bathroom, and they regularly go out then come back on shortly after, like a dimming effect. I think I have found the root cause of this, I went up into the loft, peeled back the insulation above the bathroom and there was a fried dimming transformer...

I think I have found the root cause of this, I went up into the loft, peeled back the insulation and there it was, a detatched extractor pipe free from its connecting housing, also a fried dimming unit on a spot light (hence the off and on light problem !) Here is what the light should look...

Its a bungalow, so yes, its the top floor ! Funny that, the spot lights in the same ceiling regularly go out then come back on shortly after, like a dimming effect. There is an extractor fan and a window that we open when showering. Could the fan be broke ?

Ive had these weird spots appear of late on our en-suite ceiling. Looks like the previous coat is coming through, could this be the problem here ? or could this be damp or something severe ?

I have a vibrating noise coming from the toilet, it happened on my other toilet before and a change of ball valve sorted it, only the place where I got it from no longer does them ! Anyone know where I can get hold of a ball valve with a curve in it ?

Would this be a decent buy ? http://www.comet.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/p/Washing-Machines/buy-ZANUSSI-ZWG1140M-Washing-Machine/650196 My Hotpoint is making a horrendous noise at spin and is now starting to smell a bit like burning rubber.

I live in a 3 bed bungalow and have 8 radiators throughout, the biggest one in the kitchen is cold when heating is on and slightly warm at the bottom, does this need bled ?

Cheers mate, not the answer but you just twigged my dense brain !! I also have a boiler noise (see other posts) so I switched everything off including the switch that is for the hob !! Just switched it on and hey, you know what its back working again !! its switched on, but I aint so switched on !

The pilot light is on all the time, it seems to make the clicking noise even when the pilot flame is visible. The heating is off but the hot water is on timer (6am)(4pm), there is a button which says "Central Heating" underneath the unit case on the wall, this is always on. We also cant...

I have a Zanussi gas hob with four rings, and all of a sudden the rings wont light, as the iginte button seems to have gone. Can this be fixed easily ?
