Sorry about my vagueness. To Clarify: The Chime has a built in transformer, I've opened it. It is stamped 'Friedland' Does anybody have an idea why 3 separate cables would have the brown/live tied together and the the 3 other cores going to 3 separate terminals. Thanks.

Cheers The old bell is a 'Friedland'. I'm pretty sure it has a built in transformer meaning the feed must be mains. Do you see the size of it in the photo ? it's a monster.

Thanks for replying. Sorry the photo is rubbish, My phone camera is poor The old one is on the right. It has 4 terminals marked 0-3. The new on is on the left. There is a 240V mains feed at the top and inputs at the bottom for the button. Any idea what the 4 terminal on the old one...

Hi, I'm trying to replace my hardwired doorbell chime. The existing one is wired in to the lights and has a built in transformer. I bought a replacement that requires 240V & the signal from the button. The old one had 3 cables going to it and when I removed it to paint the wall it...

Hi, I've had an architectural guy in to discuss a loft conversion. There's a few possibilities around dormers or just Velux windows so he suggested I get a builder in for some rough quotes before proceeding. The first builder right away told me the place I had envisaged the new...

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies Gents!

Nobody know?

Hi, I'm plumbing in my bathroom basin. The waste pipe is 36mm OD, having googled it I think it's pipe intended to be used with solvent weld fittings. I need to fit an S-trap. Will a 40mm compreesion S-trap fit ok or do I need an adapter bit? cheers for any replies.

Good idea.......if they were supplied with any.

Just nipped out and got an extension piece. Thanks. I've noticed the toilet has no provision for fixing to the ground. It's one of these: http://www.bathempire.com/ladoga-toilet-and-cistern_p22288494.htm Will a bead of silicon do it? There are no holes in the cistern either. There...
