So I'm replacing with 1 to 1.5w LED's and will buy a LED driver to power them. Does anyone have a better way to join the wires for the seven lamps that hang from the pendant ? This is the original that I've cut away. They've just spliced each wire ,crimped them ALL together and encased the whole...

I found a thread that's kind of helped me answer my own question. I need G4 AC/DC LED's or buy an LED driver (I think) ..will go for the AC/DC option initially. https://community.screwfix.com/threads/g4-led-advice.222944/

I've just ripped the burnt stuff out and re wired one light up and all good so the transformer's fine. Just to clarify in relation to the recent posts I might have a problem fitting 1W G4 LEDs or similar Cheers.

Yep, halogens. Its a shame as its a lovely looking conical cascade light and wasn't cheap but I guess if it risks burning the house down best bin it off.

Cheers, as in the product itself at the location those multiple wires are damaged ? I just want to check the problem might not be elsewhere before I stick a replacement up.

Hi....This light stopped working yesterday. Its a 7 light conical cascade light with 7x12v 20w G4 capsule bulbs. Its been up about 6/7 years with no issues at all. Its not used all the time as its in the dining room above a table. That said any ideas what may have caused this ? Could it be a...

I've just had to remove a similar panel from behind the WC. However it has lift off clips like this https://www.commercialwashroomsltd.co.uk/panel-clips-lift-off.html Remove silicone and slide upwards, the clips don't engage as such just hold the panel in place. When you fit the shelf on the...

Cheers, thanks for the tip about plumbers mate. The flush pipe is pretty well aligned, sorry about the story just needed to share as feel gutted at pulling apart a newish bathroom.

Having a bit of a mare. 2 1/2 years ago we had a new bathroom & en suite fitted. Last week the bathroom toilet started overflowing into the pan. The loo is a back to wall Roca against a built in cabinet .The cabinet is this...

many thanks, its 16 years old- I also live in a very hard water area so I guess it may be in a sorry state inside as well, will get a couple of quotes cheers

Hi I have quite a noticeable leak from my hot water cylinder as shown in the photo. (mirror used) Is it worth me trying to tighten this up or is that too dodgy looking at the mess thats built up between the tank and the connection.(The leak is coming from the flange that connects with the...

I take that back and apologise for those remarks. However as joe public i asked a simple question and have been directed towards a massive problem, clearly based on negligent fitting of these boilers and subsequent plumbers on this forum gloating about sorting these problems out with...

Im thinking clearly thanks.....I will copy and paste my plumbers corgi cert on here if you want...the forged one...will also quote the name and address of the company in Poole who fitted my mums boiler with that plastic pipe running down the outside of the house...the frozen one Of course not...

In my parents case the waste runs down the other side of the house. Its clearly a case of just lobbing it on the wall and not giving a toss about the punter..... until they get cold weather and then you are long gone :roll:

thats strange as the last 2 dealings over the last 3 years with plumbers from my family seem to have resulted in dodgy jobs...no wonder people DIY I didnt come here for a fight BUT, have just realised some of your profession are screwing up the public. Reading an earlier thread about a member...

cheers

thanks for that Just like the so called corgi registered guy who's certificate ran out 3 months before he fitted my boiler so forged the docs.......... Ive finally realised Im dealing with a profession as corrupt as most others. They fitted that boiler / external pipe in an installation...

think I have found my answer http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=253340 shabby practice if you ask me

Hi My elderly parents had a new combi boiler (Valient) fitted 3 years ago. It was fitted into the upstairs airing cupboard upstairs in a link detached house. The plastic drain pipe goes through the exterior wall and down the outside of the house onto the garage roof. Needless to say the...

thank you both for your help Did the testing as per instructions. I was getting 240v on the ' HW on' connection when it was on and off, this in addition to the other issue at the grey terminal!..as you both agreed pointed towards the programmer. Just done a straight swap with a new tempus...
