Washing is for hygienic wimps, and I can see in the dark with my night vision eyeballs.

I suppose the only way of knowing exactly where it goes is to get the boards up and trace it, just not in a position to do that just yet. All I'm getting at is will it be ok to leave it for now as it's not live? The CU in the kitchen IS an old one without RCD protection. One of the sockets...

I thought that Pete, but there are no outlets or lights in the loft that I can see. I'm just concerned now after nozspark's comment. This circuit is now not live so it can't be connected to anything other than an outlet or supply to something else can it? The dual gang socket I mentioned in the...

That's just confused the hell outta me. ColJack..........Bacon & egg and several cuppa's.........deal.

Well I've left this circuit disconnected for now, we don't use the landing socket anyway. I just can't understand why nothing else is affected by this. Perhaps the cable has just been left unterminated under the floor boards somewhere? (which wouldn't surpirse me given the state of the rest of...

Thanks chaps, checked and that's exactly what's been done. The single socket in my workshop is a spur off the ring on the double socket in the next room. I disconnected this and followed it to a single socket on the landing. Strange thing is, this landing socket has another cable connected to it...

Could do with some advice on this one if you guys can help. I'm trying to add a few extra sockets into the smallest bedroom which is soon to become my workshop. Currently there's only one single outlet near the door and I wanted to add two dual gang sockets on another wall. I checked behind the...

Priceless....... :D

You guys are pervs!

Great, thanks for your advice.

By undersized supply cables do you mean the cables between the meter and the CU ColJack? I ask because obviously the lighting is on a seperate supply from the CU, so the only thing that could cause a drop in voltage would be inadequate cabling here? Am I right to think this?

So is that quite normal? If a voltage drop is occurring due to a heavy load, wouldn't that imply that there was an inadequate conductor somewhere adding resistance to the circuit, and thus the resulting drop in voltage? I'm not that experienced with household electrics, I'm an electronics...

Hi all, Hoping you can shed some light on an issue I have with our new shower. We moved into our new house about 8 months ago and the original shower was completely knackered so I've replaced it with a 9.5kW unit. The cable feeding it is 10mm2 and there's a 40 amp breaker in the CU. The...
