As BAS has posted, sounds like the switch is the problem, isolate circuit and investigate the switch. Does sound like a broken conductor, that could be making contact when cold, then when power is offered heat expansion is breaking the contact. If it's stays on for longer when left but a...

Hi PrenticeBoyofDerry Thanks for your reply. In answer to your questions: • They have been functioning perfectly for the past 10 months, when they were installed. • I just removed the GU10 LED bulb from its socket. A couple more observations that I can add since posting: If you...

Hi All Hope someone can help shed some light (sorry) on this weird issue. I have 8 Osram 240v 5w LED down lighters in my kitchen, controlled by two wall switches. I went to switch them on tonight as normal only to find that they all flashed on once then stayed off. I tried again only to...

SIM is short for Simultaneous. Simultaneous PSTN/ADSL Provide Orders are intended to allow you to move house without a break in service. If you try to carry out the move any other way then there will be a break in service since your ISP will need to wait until the new line is connected before...

Spoke to a colleague at work today who has a friend who works at BT, gave me a number to call and had the whole thing resolved within 10 minutes! Apparently it all depends on which call center you first get filtered through to whether they can do this or not. It's not what you know, but who...

Hi All I think I’m about to go insane… I’m currently with BE Unlimited for my broadband and BT for the phone lines and will be moving house in a few week’s time. Firstly, I rang BE Unlimited asking how to move my broadband from the old house to the new house. They clearly explained that...

Thanks again everyone for your valued help. My next challenge is to get an Openreach engineer visit with a lead time of less that 5 weeks...! 5 weeks! Why on earth can it take soooooo long to get an engineer line installation appointment? It used to always be a maximum of 2 weeks and even...

Thanks bernardgreen & simonpolly The underground BT wiring cable that came up to my previous house of only 10 years old, had more than enough wire capacity for 4 separate lines to be installed into the house. They simply ran a cable around the outside of the house, brought the cable through...

Hi All I have a new property with one of these new OpenReach External NTE boxes fitted. The house has been internally wired by the builder with 6 core wire phone cable. I need to have (3) separate phone line pairs coming into the house from the External NTE box. I plan to use all 6 wires...

[/url] Thanks Diyisfun This looks like the answer. So, any given socket in the house has available from it DAB, FM or TV all out of one socket. E.g. plug in a TV and it gets the TV signal it needs and just ignores the DAB and FM signal that is also there.

Hi All Hope I'm in the right group for aerials. What I hope is a very simple question to answer, so apologies if this question is obvious. I’m moving into a new build house where every room has been fitted with an aerial socket. I want to get maximum flexibility from these sockets by...

Hi Alastairreid Thanks for the reassuring reply that this is a type of roof style/design. To me it looked as if all of the exposed trusses should be boxed in with soffit and fascia thus protecting them from the weather. Looks like I’m going to have to get ready for painting these every...

Hi All First post. In the process of buying a new house and have noticed something quite odd regards the lack of Soffits and Fascias on certain parts of the roof, which I hope is not an issue. It looks to me that the soffit and fascias have not been finished off as the ends of the wood...
