Thanks for the advice. Yep might well try to replace it all as it will be on show - if all the chrome isn't too pricey!

Hello, I would like to replace a plastic bottle trap under a corner wall mounted basin with a new chrome trap as shown in the picture. Not sure if it would be better/easiest to replace just the bottle trap itself or replace the first part of the waste pipe and even the elbow joint with chrome...

That might well be why the kitchen spotlights are now only working when the dining light switch is on! Will change it so the doubled wire is in its own terminal. Great advice - thanks again

All sorted out now and appears I got the wires in the right terminals luckily... sparkwright - yes, I noticed there was a live with the end doubled over. That was one of the lives going into the COM terminal. Does the doubled over mean something?

Hello all, I am about to fit an Ikea 'Loviken' monobloc kitchen tap. It comes supplied with rigid copper tails but I would like to replace these with flexi tap tails instead (due to my existing pipe layout). I have found some flexi tap tails for monobloc taps at Screwfix.com but there...
