ah, so the round lid type bit that closes the thingy pushes the wires into the jaws of the connector thing? that makes sense good, It looks like I'm PMing the nice lectrician type then

right, I think choc blokes with the tongues it is then I think I'm all for the gel things but they looked fiddly, I couldn't see how the phone wires plus insulation were supposed to fit into the tiny gaps between the metal teeth

thank-you choc blocks are going to be very available and easy for a handless clown like me to use aren't they? they are the bog standard connectors for electrical wiring aren't they? or are you saying I should use these jelly things? they looked a bit fiddly to me?

I think his crimps remark referred to my original question as to the orange round things I'm going with these choc blocks unless someone says otherwise

is a choc block those white plastic things with screws in for joining electrical wires up if I've run out of electrical tape and am feeling professional? if that's good enough, that's brill

thank-you 100 you say? yuk yuk seems very dramtic for an indoor connection, if that what I have to use? or would something simpler suffice if it's an indoor connection? I suspected I shouldn't but the box was in such an unhelpful position, my dad did suggest running the wire back out...

post mortem **** easy, changed the entire inards for the Torbeck palaver, job done think it was the washer, looked a bit frayed thanks to all (and I'm very happy this was my problem after skimming a few of the problems on the forum)

excellent, I think I'm ready, cheers gents I think I can handle the swearing part when the water shoots up my sleeve

thanks gents there's a plastic nut on the outside of the joint to the cistern, so loosen that off and check the washer there is in good nick? if not disconnect the pipework above the valve and slide a new washer up from there? and renew some sort of washer at the jin between isolator(?)...

sorry, I'll post details this evening, my nerves got the better of me during the day re 'oomph'; I'm quoting their bloke today when I queried the quality and power of the proposed boiler I'd be grateful for things to watch out for that they may not have quoted the two tanks will come...

Howdy fellas, ancient boiler barely limping along, as good as condemned by the last engineer to come out and coax it to life, immersion upstairs, electric bills rather naughty anyhow, I have a quote from an outfit in Stamford Hill called Gasline that have done for me for a long time that I've...

I'm redoing a whole house bit by bit, and I've taken down walls and ceilings in two rooms so far, lath and plaster. Place near me puts up really good fine plaster coving for a whole room for about £300. Looks absolutely gorgeous after it's finished.
