Thanks again flameport ! I'll swap the socket for a unswitched one then (y)

Hi flameport Can you confirm whether if the socket was switched, whether that would be a cause for a fail if NICEIC visit please based on what you mentioned regarding the possibility of overheating/failure ? Reason for asking is that i was looking for a more aesthetically pleasing socket as...

flameport - can i ask why you specifically mention a single unswitched outlet outside please ? Also, what size of cable would be needed for this ? From outside socket to the consumer unit would be around 12m Thanks again for your input (y)

flameport, thanks for the reply and apologies for the delay in responding So where i'm struggling with these additional electrical requirements, is with the fact that the car was supplied with that cable as shown in my photos and If there are other considerations other than the need for just a...

Check out my photos recently attached John I've added some photos of the 3 pin lead that comes with the car There is also a fatter lead for when charging off a proper wall box

Thanks for all the replies and input The car manual is pretty light on useful information but i've attached a bunch of photos of the actual charger supplied with the car for use when charging via a 3 pin socket There's plenty of numbers and other stuff mentioned that may be of interest and make...

flameport - thanks for the advice and taking the time to reply, much appreciated ! So from what i have described above, would that type of solution only be suitable for an outside socket (except for the cable type mentioned), and to be used for a lawnmower, vacuum etc ? (ie. short usage)...

I've recently taken delivery of a new car which is a PHEV hybrid I've charged it a couple of times from empty from a 3 pin plug and it has taken 5 hours which is an acceptable time for us, albeit having to use an extension lead dangled through the letter box which is a pain :) I don't want the...

Can anyone confirm what IP rating i should be looking at for the following please : 1 : For some downlighters in my garage overhang. Obviously, it is outside, so i guess could be exposed to possible condensation, but it wont have any chance of exposure to rain The overhang is single storey so...

i meant to ask denso, what's your thought on the percentage compaction ? will 100mm compact to 50mm or is that optimistic ?

apologies Mikey, just went out and measured for the photos ! there is a slight bump on the drive (its not a nice graduated slope) hence i would rather not add more hardcore and whacker down as it will take the overall drive level up further but i will reconsider it regarding the manhole, do you...

Here you go Mikey......he used more like 120mm instead of 40mm !
