Thanks for the advice. Too late i guess for a change of filler. Will try to use a dry cloth to clean the dust off the repaired areas, as a desperate solution. Thin slightly...you reckon something like 80/20 (paint/water)?

I think i stumbled across a problem. I spent the past 2 days preparing a room for painting, by repairing any small cracks and recesses into the existing painted wall (i used a ready mixed filler). When it came to wiping off the dust with a lightly wet cloth today, i realised that parts of the...

Thanks. Makes sense now that you explained; and i think that's the culprit as I can hear water actually boiling in there before the noises start. I guess its beyond my capabilities; I'll accept defeat and call an electrician tomorrow to sort it out :) Annoying thing is that i couldn't find...

Thanks for filling me with confidence!! On a serious note, when you say 'clocks', do you mean the old servowarm programmer or something else? I have definetely messed up the wiring. i am going now before going to bed to put the old programmer on, and try to figure out tomorrow how to wire it...
