    Power Distribution Unit

    Power Distribution Unit

    Aerial Diplexing

    Thanks chaps, Sam, my issue is that grid decombiners take up 2 gangs of the grid plate. I think I will have to adopt the suck it and see approach. Ta again.

    I wondered why he had disassembled the cut out, but I thought afterwards that perhaps he popped the service fuse as a result of his meddling.

    This may interest some of you guys: http://www.channel5.com/shows/police-interceptors/episodes/episode-8-498 The piece starts at about 14mins & the exhibit is soon after 16min 30secs. Two things grabbed me - one quite ingenious, the other a bit crazy. See what you think.

    Have I done this properly?

    Yes, if the back box is metal there should be a grommet at each cable entry.

    Sensor for illuminated house sign

    Insect infestation?

    Lawnmower Woes

    Just a quick follow up on this. Finally managed to get round to looking at this again. Popped a new plug in and she roared into life in a huge cloud of smoke on the first pull. Many thanks for your assistance.

    Lawnmower Woes

    Hi john, thanks for taking the time to respond. The diaphragm was indeed a genuine one. I don't think it was flooded, certainly not to begin with - I pulled the thing until my arm nearly popped out of its socket! The plug did look a bit sooty and damp, I also thought the gap looked a little...
