I've got a nuisance trip issue at the moment that I'm trying to track down. One thing I've noticed is that if I switch off one of the MCBs (on the RCD) side the RCD trips and will not turn back on until the MCB is turned on. This is one specific MCB and none of the others do this. Any ideas...

Suddenly lost hot water (Boiler + Hot water tank) - a few days ago it wasn't as hot as we expected so I thought the thermostatic valve in the however this time check a normal tap and nothing. Turning CH on, boiler runs, pump runs, valve to CH opens, can feel the pipes get hot. Turning HW on...

I want to put a ring of sockets in the shed, with a separate feed for lights and some radials for sockets in the ceiling (at height). I do have a few largish tools (thicknesser or table saw etc nothing too massive though) and the vac/dust extraction. I think that would be the most I would use...

I have been doing some testing already so its not entirely from scratch. For the most I use wire wheels and paint removing pads on the angle grinder, though not a big fan of this it does work. The problem is getting into the corners. For smaller edges where I may end up welding I can do this...

I've been trying to restore a self levelled floor which drops ~30mm from one side to another (7m), total area being around 26m2. I wasn't too fussed about exact finish though the PU floor paint I hoped would cover up the crimes and a lot of pin holes in the levelling. But this has made it...

I've got a floor I want to paint to hide some imperfections and pin holing. It doesn't need to be perfect - though I did go and get some floor paint from the local industrial supplies and it seems to have just highlighted everything. 90% it's polyurethane will have to check. I've done a few...

We have a concrete shed base - approx 7.5m x 3m, 200mm+ deep. https://i.imgur.com/iOTfagV.jpg At the time it was level, but a year later we are just about to put a prebuilt shed on it (no timber floor) and it is now 50mm out from one corner to another. Overall its slightly twisted rather than...

I've got what I think is a 1/2" 3 bar Watt(?) branded release valve with a leak above it. Though its extremely slow as nothing is pooling below (I left a container under it for the last *cough* year...) It looks like its coming from the compression fit above it - but should I just consider...

I'm struggling to find connectors for a pair of hot water solar panels I have. They don't have any threaded connectors on them and I cannot find any alternatives. Does anyone know these and the name/type?

I've been having problems with the lights on a small trailer - other trailers work fine so my socket is okay. Indicators and fog work fine. Bulbs tested with 12v work on both contacts, for side and brakes and side+brake together being respectively brighter or dimmer. The contacts are all clean...

I have a Vents TH1.5N, its a fan controller that has a run on timer and humidity sensor. It works, with regards to time and humidity as expected. But what happens is whenever another item in the house, no matter which circuit is turned on, the controller starts the fan. This was...

Anyone know where you can get one? I cant even find a similar one by searching for it, not even other images of it - so I had to take one of my own... Image: http://bayimg.com/KAooeaadF
