Thank you all, switch is working great. Thanks for all your help :)

So the first images were both right sides up? The earth connection on new switch is BOTTOM?

Thanks guys for the quick response. So I can be clearer with which wire goes where I have uploaded the photos with both switches facing both the right way. So the 'TOP' facing the top. Sorry to be a pain but can you add the correct positioning again? Thanks

The garden is elevated. Steps to lawn so it's a wall opposite my patio doors. So maybe a slim linear system along the base of the wall and tunnel from the there to the guttering pipe which is along side of patio door. I guess I have to do this regardless if I have flag stones with pea gravel or...

It's only temporary until I've prepped the whole area and decide if I am going to flag stone or proper patio slabs the whole area. Basically prepping (removing the existing clayish soil down to hard ground. Looking at the photos guys have I got to the foundation of where I need to be before...

Hi guys, Really need some help here. In the photo I have uploaded I have removed 6 inches of clay like soil with a very mouldy weed membrane on top then chippings. As you can see in the photo a square section has been dug. This is where I intend to put a small shed. The ground is now hard. Does...

You're right there. I think I over tightened tap few years ago and emailed the company and they sent me part at no cost. I have searched for Bensham and no such luck. Bathstore have so far not replied to my email

I have a Bensham 1885 shower mixer and the cold tap is dripping. Is it an O ring I need to stop this drip or do I have to by a part with O ring? No idea where to look. I will turn off the water and remove the spindle to check but would be great if I had the seal (O ring) before taking it apart...
