First, find out whether the bearing is replaceable and available. I wasted a lot of time dismantling my old washing machine and attempting to remove the bearing - and then realised that the replacement I had purchased was totally different, and that it was in fact not replaceable. Hint: if only...

Yeah, any cheapo ethernet switch, with as few ports as you can get, e.g. 4 or 5; just connect to any two of the ports and switch the power with a timeeswitch.

photos of the inside?

Do you have a multimeter?

That will depend on what’s on the other ends of those wires. I guess you have a bell transformer somewhere? And a button? I guess that the 4-core wire with the blue/green/white striped cores goes to the button - check inside the button to confirm.

I found this one, which is not what you are describing… ( https://www.free-instruction-manuals.com/pdf/pa_359418.pdf ) I think that gives you “normal” behaviour. What’s the advantage? What do they mean by “live and switched live are at different positions”?

Are they generic instructions, not specific to the pneumatic switch? (Does the pneumatic switch even have a third contact?)

Replace the top with a new piece of board of some sort. The chipboard will have turned into wheatabix. (Post a photo?)

This gland, as a random example, takes cables with diameters 7.5 - 14 mm: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/WKGLP20B.html What kind of “junction / joint” exactly are you looking at? (Edit: sorry, that’s not an SWA gland.)

Is that holding the weight of the upstairs floor? Assuming strength is not an issue - how about a nice carved scroll? https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/772546534/

I meant, using skirting that has a cable slot in the back - so that you don't need to chase into the wall.

Consider doing a first pass with a plane, or something. Certainly that’s what I would do if it were solid wood; not so sure about MDF.

But we can tell from the fact that the property was built in 2020! I.e. decades after the final ban.

Have you considered doing the horizontal part inside the skirting?

All earths connected together. All neutrals connected together. Live to mirror from permanent live. Live to new lamp from switched live. But which terminal in the rose is which? Earth is obvious. Permanent live is where the 3 reds join in the middle. Switched live and neutral are the...

Note that it’s possible to run HDMI over CAT6 cable (possibly pairs of) with suitable adaptors. (Note I’ve not personally done this!). That avoids the issue of connector size as you run bare cables. There do exist mini- and micro-HDMI connectors. Whether you can buy long cables with them is a...

What’s the other side of the wall?

You need an internet-free weekend. Turn your phone off and go for a long walk by the sea, or something.

I fitted a cheap Mira this year, no complaints yet.

It will be fine.
