I'd like to replace it but I want to make sure I get something compatible - Ta :)

Hi, I'd like to extend the cable for a tv/satellite system in to another room. This is the only outlet plate at the moment - and the only cable in to it looks like this - Can I simply add this cable - http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/CASATW.html - in to the terminal on the...

I need to replace some pneumatic time lag switches in a stairwell as they're constantly failing and am looking at installing one of these - http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Consumer_Units_Index/Contactum_Old_Range_Index/CMD_Controls_3/index.html - and 4 of these -...

I know the requirements needed for omitting supplementary bonding in a new install but can bonding be removed in an existing install if the requirements are retrospectively met?

Bit of a weird one this but can I use something like this http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/VE753.html to power a light fixture which has 2x 8v 2w miniature candle bulbs in it? The existing one is knackered and the light manufacturers are shut until 4th Jan and even when they are open they...

According to the Communities Minister there will be one... http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/planningandbuilding/buildingregsnextsteps

Someone has come to isolate one of their s/o circuits and realised that they have to switch off 2 mcb's to cut the power to the socket they want to replace, there are 4 32a mcb's in total all marked sockets, the cable is 2.5mm he's *sure* He doesn't think this has always been the case and they...

... one of these http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/TLT200slash4.html with one of these http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/LTYT250.html? I'm not too familiar with the pros & cons of torodial transformers :oops:

... the dimmer doesn't work any more, any ideas what it might be? :shock:

I'd like to replace a surface mounted Mira 88 shower, it's an older version of this one - http://www.plumbnation.co.uk/site/mira-gem-88-mixer-shower---mira-gem-88--ev-/# Is it just a matter of isolating the supplies, undoing the 2 compression fixings and fitting the new one in place? If so...

I hope it's the latter, *no-one* cuts a chunk like that out of a joist to install a light. There's no chance of getting access from above but it looks too thin to be a joist, what do you think?

I had a look at someone's external lighting circuit today but didn't go too far on it as it's in MICC and I've never touched that before so didn't really want to start messing with the integrity of it. There's about 2kw of lighting & a 1kw photocell (well designed) and the mcb has tripped and...

A customer has a rewireable board with no RCD protection and wants a selection of socket outlets moved and added. I'd like to change the whole board of course but they're reluctant to pay for it all at the moment, fair enough. They didn't fancy having individual RCD sockets added by the way...

I had a look at someone's faulty cistern today and noticed that the bellows from the pneumatic push button don't seem to be connected to anything, no idea why they're not. Where should they attach? It's not the best pic but hopefully you can see them at the top...

How do you fit these things? http://www.toolstation.com/images/library/stock/webbig/37158.jpg?rand=544872946 I guess they go between the valve and radiator but I can't see how :oops:

I don't know where else to ask this :oops: Has anyone ordered from these guys recently http://www.showers-direct2u.co.uk/? Only I placed an order about a week ago and haven't recieved it although they've taken payment & I can't get through on the phone and no response by email :(

Someone has asked me run power for a single socket & lighting to a shed from their static caravan on a residential park. Obviously the relevant regulations will be followed, but what's the norm when doing this sort of work as it'll need some sort of removable cabling I'd imagine as the van will...

Looking at someone's cooker today, on which the top oven had stopped working, I found these little fluffy bundles of vermin had played chicken with the terminals, and lost: When I persuaded them to let go of the cables and drop out, the top oven started working again. They didn't...

Someone has asked me to help them move their socket outlets out of the skirting boards as they've been told this needs to be done before they can address a damp issue they have, although as yet I'm not sure whether someone's just unaware that regulations aren't retrospective or they do in fact...

Does anyone know where I can source GS38 compliant probe tip covers for a T100 volt tester from for a realistic price, or alternatively what to use instead? Ebay's let me down & I've spoken to Fluke who will happily supply them for £3 per pair + £35 delivery if the order's under £75, I don't...
