Thanks Ollski, that's exactly the thing I want. Now, anyone know of a London library where I could consult a copy? I don't fancy shelling out the £62 that IGEM want for it, when I just want a quick look! Many thanks Adam

I'm looking for "British Gas Publication DM2 - 'Guide for gas installations in timber framed housing'", but haven't had any luck with a web search. Anyone know what it says? Thanks Adam

OK, so I was thinking the flue would come out the front of the cupboard, through a fixed panel above the door - that way it's kept clear of the wall, and away from the plastic wastepipes which run above where the cupboard will be. I thought that with a modern roofing material like EPDM it...

Thanks all for the advice. I think I'm going to construct my own bespoke cupboard from a frame of pressure-treated 2x2, faced externally and internally in 12mm marine ply, with silicone in all the joints. Then bolt the frame to the wall using rawlbolts, with silicone in the holes, and between...

Thanks guys - cartridge fuse it is then. Just out of interest - the transformer in the halogen track system is a big heavy cylindrical thing with lots of wound copper wire visible through the plastic sheathing - that's a toroidal, right? And therefore dimmable with the dimmer I mentioned in...

What about if I were to fit an inductive dimmer switch to the new track system? Something like: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/VL630LV.html Would this prevent the surge at switchon and stop the MCB tripping? It seems like a backward step to fit a cartridge fuse, or is that truly...

I've just replaced a fluorescent tube in the kitchen with a new low-voltage halogen track system. Now the MCB for the lighting circuit trips about three times a week when the new lights are switched on. Although the new light is a higher wattage than the old one, I don't think it's...
