Thank you for putting my mind at ease.

Thanks Breezer, all working now :)

Thanks for the fast responce Breezer. Do you mean just put a piece of wire between the 2 terminals of zone 2? The Tamper part is just a big chocolate bloc 1st tamper goes into 1 and 2 second goes into 2 and 3 etc, so far i have removed the zone 2 tamper and moved the wiring for zone 1 up...

Hi All, I have an Accenta6 alarm system and need to remove zone 2 due to the wall being knocked down that contains the door contact. I have opened the box and disconected the wires to Zone 2 including the tamper wires. However when I go to try and set the alarm now I have the problem that...

Well thanks for all your ideas guys! I woke up this morning to find we had a power cut, apparently a problem with the local substation, all repaired now and guess what, no more flickering lights!!! At least I have learn't the table lamp trick :idea: Thanks again!

Well the lights didn't flicker much last night but I was able to prove with the aid of a table lamp that it was also flickering when the lights did. So is that a call to the supplier would you say? Or anything else I should try first. Thanks again.

Hi all, I am having a problem with all the lights in my house flickering intermittently, these are on 2 seperate fuses. While I have changed a lot of light fittings over the last couple of years, I havent done anything for 6 months. The only thing that has happened is we had a new...

I will make sure the recomended gap is kept. Cheers Davy :)

Hi all, I am installing some mains powered downlighters in an upstairs bedroom, thus they are fixed in the loft space surrounded by insulation. I have clearded a space around the insulation, but just wanted to check if it is safe to just leave them like this, or do i need fire hoods? I want...

Any other ideas ?

No, its the other way around the tread is too big for the nut. But only by a very small amount.

Hi all, I am trying to replace an old radiator without draining the system, so I have removed and foolishly thrown the old rad away. Weeks later I have bought a new rad and valves which came with tails. I only wanted to use the tail really as I have left the valves connected to the pipes...
