Hi - I bought (foolishly?) a smoker oven that has the above plug attached. Question: how can I connect this to a UK power supply. I don't really want to change any underlying electrics in the house, as we are renting, so any recommendations welcome, so I can start using it ;-) Thanks.

Thanks for that. Took it apart - cleaned it and put it back. It doesn 't screech anymore - just very slow reacting. Where can I get replacement spindles? Thanks.

Hi all, One of my taps has suddenly starting doing the above (not either of the other 2 taps tho.....). I shut the stopcock on the mains, and opened all the taps. Then opened the stopcock. Still the same problem. Please help - it's on the bathroom sink, the one we use the most. Thanks.

I tried that before - but there is a metal casing - I can't see anyway to get to the button fromt that way....

I have the washing machine above - and the on/off switch has suddenly stopped working correctly. I have to wedge the switch on with some cardboard. I've had a look an it seems the fascia is a sealed unit. Any suggestions on how I could go about fixing the problem? Thanks.

Hi, I've got a fairly new flat - with an immersion heater and storage heaters, and as far as I can see, no timers, but they all come on at some point during the night and go off - but how can I be more precise (due to the ever escalating costs, and changing hours of 'peak'). Where are the...

I would like to add a suspended ceiling that will go in my office - probably something like 20cm over my existing ceiling. However, it will stop around 20cm from the edge all the way around (not sure what this is called). I was planning on using plasterboard for this - but how would I finish the...

Oh - I have a house in France...

Would schema would you recommend - by floor or by function (plugs. lighting. etc) or another?? What are the advantages/disadvantages of all. Thanks.

Who are you talking about - me or the replier?? Thanks.

Hi - thanks for that. The telerupteur sits at the consumer box (or they also do one that sits in a box in a wall) that as far as I can gather - controls the state of the switches. There are even "special" switches to control this module.

I have read in the Readers Digest that DD's are recommended - but in another book that ID's are recommended as DD's are so expensive and are best reserved for those circuits that need special protection. Would schema would you recommend - by floor or by function (plugs. lighting. etc) or...

I would like a switch for some lights when I enter the bedroom, and then one switch either side of the bed so that either person in bed can switch the lights off (plus I would like another set of lights with a dimmer that can also be switched off with another set of switches by the bed). Is this...

All, I am thinking about putting in a suspended toilet - but was advised against by an ex plumber as he said the floor wasn't strong enough. Question: What is the difference between a normal toilet and suspended in terms of needing a stronger floor (as there was a toilet there before)...

Thank you for all your answers..... I would like to put a spanner in the works - as such..... The reason I asked the original question was because I have 2 lights operated by one switch. That's simple enough. All cables are enclosed and hence any new cable that needs to be added will cause...

Thanks for that, but it really isn't exactly what I was after. I have one switch - then two lights - and then one switch - i.e. the distance between the switches is significantly more than between the either of the two switches and the lights. Therefore, I was trying to determine how many...

Still can't see it. Is it on the first page??

Thanks for the reply but I cannot see an example of what I asked for.....

Hi - I am trying to wire the above - with one switch on one wall - and another on a far wall - with the 2 lights in the "middle" (come and go). Can somebody point me a webpage where I can see a diagram of what I need to do? I would ideally like the least number of wire between the two. Thanks.

So are these polyurethane items like polysterene? I would ideally like them to go in between the rafters but allow an air gap. If they go on top of the rafters then the space will be severely limited. Hence why I need the best thermic value possible - R value. I am trying to weigh up Rockwool...
