Get somebody in sooner rather than later.........possible lose connection/fire hazard somewhere.

If you mount the spur outside of the bathroom could wire directly from that into one of these, pullcord switch on them so can operate it as and when you like [/url]http://www.dimplex.co.uk/products/DHB_fx.pdf Just be careful regarding the zoning as to where you place it.

The lighting circuits require a complete rewire, the new cables installed will contain earth wire.

If the single socket you speak of is not required, you could replace this with a 13A switch fused spur and run a radial from the load side to your new sockets.

Wouldnt it be great though if lighting manufacturers came up with a bracket for their new light that fixed through the existing ceiling rose fixings. Allowing you to leave all existing wiring in place and just connect your 3 cores to the exisiting rose.

No you dont need to earth the fitting itself (should be double insulated fittings anyway, as your saying they didnt have an earth terminal). Yes you can run the 4mm to the pull cord (im afraid I assumed there wasnt an earth at it from one of your earlier postings). Never ASSUME as by doing...

Im afriad I can not help with a diagram, but as for a method..... Its basically the same for testing continuity on any cable....with the DB isolated and the link placed between live and earth, use your continuity tester at opposite end of circuit between the phase and copper sheath to obtain...

Are we talking MICC here?

Link all the earths through each fitting (good practice) but you only need to connect the 4mm to one of these connections.

You could take the earth out of the isolation switch for the shower.....and bond it to the pipe in the loft/airing cupboard.or from the shower isolator to the light and from the light to.........etc etc.

Your right about the downstairs one, 2 gang 2 way required, as the one upstairs only switches the landing (which is also switched from downstairs) a 1 gang 2 way switch is required. Just make sure you pay attention to where the wires are when changing them over as the 2 way switching can me the...

Your question is number 10 of the nic`s top 10 of most asked questions to their technical department. http://www.niceic.org.uk/approved/quest10.html I have to agree with Lectricians views on this, though I also agree with Adam_151......the regs could be clearer. The regulations regarding...

My preference would be to put the existing earth into the plate with a short piece of earth wire back to the original position in the back box. The piece of plastic that fits behind the plate is to stop any comtamination/dampness from the walls discolouring the chrome face of the plate.

Your not the 1st............ http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=90883&sid=4f31cc27e9adeed357ac1ed632c0ee65

If the reply to ban-all-sheds question is "press the button on the shower to turn it of", I would be inclined to think it`s a poor neutral connection.

Well my story is not quite the same but similar..........."she who must be obeyed" purchased a fancy kitchen light from a certain large DIY store. Contains 4 gu10 50w lamps (replacement for one 48w fluorescent tube)......so certainly not cost efficient in comparison. The above mentioned...

Here go`s............As far as I can understand under Part Pee !!, you cannot install a new circuit unless P registered, or you can install it yourself and then ask the council to get it checked for you.....(nice fee involved).....Apparently people who are P registered are not allowed to certify...
