I think the clue is in the name here, ring main/fc - if the actual definition of it is two routes back to the same source, then should I change the 2.5mm spur off my ring main to a 4mm because it's wired from the supply souce, and not a spur off the ring, by your definition?

If still struggling, get a decent socket and knuckle bar, and add a five foot scaffold tube (or other similar strong holllow metal bar that won't give) to the end of the bar - very carefully push down on the end (it'll need a surprisingly small amount of force, and won't screw it up like a nut...

Once the battery is sorted, if the starter still won't turn the engine over, either give it a good tap with a hammer, or put the car in gear and rock it backwards and forwards, then try and start it again (take it back out of gear first) Nice fun cars to drive, some work on the rear suspension...

Protected NCD is a no brainer, get a quote from Norwich Union for guaranteed bonus for more peace of mind (it's better than protected by far). Legal protection is well worth having, but an absolute must have on TPFT policies (otherwise you'll have to instruct someone to recover the money for...

Time to dig out a ps2 keyboard to add to the pile of junk in the front of my van then!

You mean the run... dialogue? If you type the same thing into the search box at the bottom of the vista start menu it automatically runs it rather than searching for it - eg. I just clicked the vista start button then immediately typed "cmd" then hit enter and up came the command prompt - had me...

From what I can see there, it looks like TR and TAMP both stand for tamper....

Do you use that, or just keep it down by the seat in your van 8) :lol: :twisted:

Maplin have a clamp meter for 15 quid, assuming you already have most of the stuff you'll be using after the rewire?

They might well do, there are usually some screws behind the handles though, both the big grab handle and the little pull to open handle - plus press studs, plus usually screws at least along the bottom edge - I haven't removed a later focus one no, can ask someone who probably has later if need be.

The screws will be around the edges of the panel cut into slots at the bottom, on the inside near the checkstrap, and behind the inserts in the wingmirror panel cover, the door pull handle and the locking handle - you'll find em!

Don't know :lol: :lol: :lol:

Most likely not, unless: (a) You're on a very long line, in which case two master sockets can make the capacitance a little high, and this causes spurious faults including "ring trip" (where it doesn't stop ringing when you pick up the phone, or other ringing related faults) (b) You're on a...

You can consider all the LV lights as a fixed load of 50W - the idea of the calculation is mainly around traditional ceiling rose fittings - each one should be calculated to be 100W, even if it is currently fitted with a 40W lamp (or even an 8/11W CFL!). This is still pretty pointless, as you...

The 0800 number for the automated system to take redcare offline is 24 hour - it requires your EIN and some numbers off the back of your security ID card - it gives you a recorded message when done stating that redcare is now disabled, and reminding you to recommission it when work is done -...

Get some rain-x too, means you don't have to use them as much (it adds a coating that repels water) and makes them run smoother. Does it do it all the time, or just at high road speeds?

As they are a franchise, service and quality seem to vary depending on which franchise you go to - this shouldn't really be the case with franchises, but then if you think about it there's always that McDonalds you'd never go back to because it gave you a bad gut etc. - so it happens to the...

Soz, didn't look up to where bob the builder was gravedigging!

Maplin do a slightly cheaper version of that tool, about 16 quid or so, I have one, but if buying again I'd get the slightly more expensive one as the one I have doesn't fit as many sizes of connector, and is a sod to do BNC centre pins with.

Coz the euro plugs are crap, particularly the earth, hence bypassing it completely.
