It did fix it, yes.

I did and it does.

Seriously? Amps don't mean the same thing between companies ? Is there some amp conspiracy that means anyone without huge amounts of knowledge is destined to fail at wiring doorbells?

Ah-ha. Now we're getting somewhere! New 2 amp transformer ordered - a Byron 7781. That should hopefully do the trick right?

Ok thanks. This might be a really stupid question, but could one reason it's not working be that I'm using a 1amp transformer? If I were to put 4 x C batteries in the "remote" chime to provide power, would that potentially solve the problem? Would it require changing the wiring?

Sorry, how does that help in my case?

I am using mains-rated cable, what you see there isn't bell cable despite it being 2-core and white. The bell cable is dramatically thinner. I am however using the same 2-core mains cable as the feed FROM the transformer (8V side) to the chime. It doesn't seem to cause a problem, but are you...

thanks for the reply. Good point about the mains, I will relocate it outside of the chime so that it can't interfere. In the first chime, the cable goes into T3 and 0F. Does it go into the SAME terminals in the second chime, or into T1 and T3?

Well, the house has certainly moved as the renovations settled - we dug out a new basement so that was bound to cause some movement. However, not ALL the tiles have cracked, just the ones in the shower. The rest of the bathroom tiles are fine. It is likely that the membrane on which the tiles...

Thanks all, the original builders were extremely expensive, extremely well respected, and extremely rubbish. So I have little doubt that the reason for the cracking is their incompetence. Given I can't find a solution that won't involve a lot of money, the only thing left is to stop using...

Hi, The tiles in one of my showers have cracked in multiple places. This isn't a shower we use often, and the cracking is most likely as a result of the building settling after an extensive renovation. The tiles were laid, I believe, over a waterproof membrane so in theory the cracks don't...
