Which one, exactly?

Do you mean you install, test, then fill out an EIC or MWC and just keep it for posterity? Out of interest, how did you get the LABC to accept your competence? Liam

Unfortunately the guidance in Approved Doc. P and stern letters from the government are not The Law. My LABC have decided that they therefore can, and will ignore all that. If they dont take up my hassle and cost-free offer of providing them with an EIC myself, I embark on a long path of...

I'd start with the OSG if I were you (and I was a year ago :) ), and maybe John Whitfield's more in depth guide to the 17th. Delve into the big book itself only if you really have to! To tell the truth I very rarely have in doing a full DIY rewire. Good luck with your LABC. I unfortunately...

To some extent, but not as much as you might think. http://www.hep2o.co.uk/bititesguideearth.htm

Uuuurrgghhhh!! OK I can understand using either the SI prefix powers of ten definitions or the base 2 values, so both an 8,000,000bit or 8,388,608bit megabyte seem reasonable to me (mildly annoying though it is that the 320Gb hard drive I just installed in my PS3 only actually holds 298). But...

Believe it or not, the 22 single LEDs, plus the tiny baby-downlights (probably also single LEDs - haven't checked) on my illuminated mirror light up my bathroom just right for a relaxing/romantic bath. It's a small bathroom mind you. I should imagine the OPs proposal will have a similar effect...

FFS do you really think it's responsible to recommend an obvious total beginner to undertake some totally unnecessary live testing!!?? Once the switch drop has been safely identified with dead continuity testing, why exactly must you identify which of the remaining cables is 'in' and which is...

He says it doesn't heat, which to me would imply it at least issues water. So likely an internal fault.

Wow - are Italian consumer units designed by trendy design houses when they're not busy doing supercars? :shock:

Oh come on - the same is tolerated from BAS. But then he's really earned a kind of tenure :). Goldberg is just a little more... distilled. Come to think of it... I've seen a few genuinely uncondescendingly helpful posts from BAS recently. Perhaps he's split himself into two...

Doubt it :) Looks like it's time for a new CU since you now need RCD protection. You could run it off the existing circuit in theory (if it could be RCD protected) - how much load is on it already? Far far better to give it a new circuit. Liam

Yeah but no but yeah but... I noticed the 16A rating in the OP, but then the OP hasn't really been specific about that, which is kinda what I'm getting at. For all we know it could say: 'this appliance must be supplied by a circuit of at least 16A rating.' If individual fusing is always...

Then I suggest you dont go out and buy an induction hob, then! :) I dont want one either.

Sorry, reading your posts more thoroughly I appreciate the point you are making. However, I'd argue that because the spark's lapse in concentration did not itself result in a contravention of any regs (514.3.2 has not been contravened for example), then it doesn't really count as poor...

Fancy seeing you here. Well that's exactly what I'm in the middle of doing on my kitchen floor, and did in my bathroom (walls - floor was small enough to do in one go). Seemed to be no problem 'blending' new grout with the previous day's. That's my experience anyway. I'm no tiler, mind...

If the issue is only that the cores of the twin-brown are not identifiable throughout their length, and this is merely preferable anyway, not a requirement, is it really a departure at all? A departure is for a blatant non-compliance isn't it? To me, preferable means 'it'd be nice', 'it's best...

Perhaps if you could ask your good friend Goldberg to re-post the phalic potato image, I'd be less confused :)

Is this necessarily true? No - not a smug loaded question - I'm slightly confused :). When someone comes on here asking how to wire up, say, a seperate oven and electric hob to their existing cooker circuit, standard advice I've read many times on here is to use the CCU to feed one of those...
