Ah ha, that's it squeaky! Thank you, mystery solved.

Thanks. Isn't it possible to get one the same as my existing one? Do Torbeck ones work just as well?

And with it installed..

Ok, here's a picture now I've removed it.

Hi, I'm having a nightmare trying to sort out the fill valve in the toilet. Excuse the novice incorrect plumbing terms, but I've replaced the black rubber valve, which had a small hole in. This hasn't solved the problem as it looks like the clear plastic/nylon bush (?) in the end is worn down a...

Hi, thanks for your reply. I called someone out and it was the fan element as well as the one in the bottom for cleaning (which he disconnected rather than replacing). All fine now. Thanks.

Hello, I followed the instructions to clean the oven yesterday by carefully pouring water in the base of the oven and selecting the aquacleanse function...After cleaning it, the RCD kept tripping everytime I put the oven on. I've left the door open overnight and have just tested it...

Ok, thanks everyone. I'll double check the zones to see if I really need bathroom suitable ones and if so, get an electrician! Thanks again. :)

Sorry, I'm really confused! The bulbs in the existing fittings work fine and are these ones: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/LAXM58G.html?source=adwords&kw=l58dl&gclid=CI-085nn0q4CFeMmtAodZXJ5_g I must already have transformers in the ceiling then so how do I know if those lamps I...

Sorry, I made a mistake. I looked at a spare bulb in the drawer rather than the ones in the bathroom! They are like the ones in the seconde link you posted riveralt, with the thin pins.

Yep, you're right. Thanks for the advice. Quite glad this has happened, now that I know they are not the right ones! :) So something like this would be ok then? http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/FRSH01W.html

Ok, ban-all-sheds, so it looks like I shouldn't have IP20 over the bath. Always good to discover someone installed the wrong ones!! Think I'll have to get different ones then...

Thank you both. I've tried white spirit too but there's no residue to remove, rather the metal appears to have been stained yellow. Very weird, especially as the tape wasn't on there that long. Riveralt, the bulbs are like the ones on the first link you posted. Chri5, I have found the exact...

The light says 12V max 50W IP20 and I have GU10 bulbs in there.

Hello, Unfortunately we used green masking tape around our downlights when painting the ceiling (wish we'd pulled them out now) and the heat from the lights has caused the tape to leave a yellow stain on the white lights. I've tried bleach, cream cleaner and astonish and nothing will shift...

Thanks for the advice. Painting the woodwork first is a good idea, hadn't thought of that. I'm glad to hear that the problems are commonplace-reassuring for him I hope!

Hello, My husband is decorating and over the years we have tried every type of tape out there. We bought the green frog tape this time in the hope that it will stick well enough to not let the paint seep through but still peel off without removing fresh paint. He painted the ceiling...

Sorry, yes I meant switch not socket. We have 3 switches which control the lights but they've never worked properly, so that all 3 switches always turn them on or off (don't know how to explain it). The electrician tested the switches today and said that the grid switch only works diagonally one...

Thanks. There are 9 halogen downlights if that helps. Many thanks.

Hi, My electrician has told me to buy a replacement MK intermediate grid switch. Do I need a 10A or 20A? The switch which needs replacing is on a socket with 2 switches, one of which controls a different light. Not sure if this makes a difference and I haven't got a clue! Thanks :)
