Thank you. So essentially just some flat PVC trim, cut to shape and adhesived on?

In the winds in the late winter a piece of my porch roof trim blew off. I need to repair it before the wasps invade but need some advice please! Ive attached a photo to show where the trim was and a photo from Google of what it should look like. But I can't figure out which way the L-Shape PVC...

Just a simple 1 gang ... not dimmer.

Thanks for the replies. They're on a single gang switch, not a dimmer. I'm getting the impression it could just be normal. They're £11 Luceco branded lamps, 5W ones. So maybe just a delay in the built in driver.

Good Evening, I have a box room in my house that has 4 LED downlights. When they're switched on there is a noticeable 0.5s delay, almost like a flicker, before they turn on. I've attached a rough diagram of the wiring. (Its a very simple set-up). They're brand new lights - so not older style or...

Thanks for your reply Daniel. I should have mentioned that this happens no matter what setting the Thermostat or the Programmer are on. I.e. I have the programmer set to OFF and the heating and hot water still both come on?

Good Morning, I have a gas central beating system, my boiler is in my garage. My Frost Stat is set as low as it can be, but my boiler is coming on and staying on all night. I have the Thermostat set as low as it can go, but the radiators still get very hot, as does the hot water. This is...

It seems to be! I can hear it whirring and it feels warm after a while.

The boiler feeds both the hot water cylinder and the central heating though? Neither work. The clock works fine ... the boiler works fine.

Hello - hoping someone can help me! I have a Glowworm Ultimate boiler which has worked fine until 2 weeks ago. Now I have no hot water or heating. The boiler appears to be working - I.e. the pilot light is on. But it doesn't matter what combination I have (hot water only, central heating...

As you can see in the image the orange and white wires aren't even connected?

Good Morning, I recently purchased a house and have only just got round to testing all the phone sockets. Basically, I have followed the overhead cables to where they join the house and they appear to enter the house in two locations. First question ... is that even possible or am I...

Thanks for this - the person who wired up the lights originally put one transformer on every lamp - which I therefore assumed was the only way to do it. Clearly not! I may just link the dead lamp to a working transformer.

20W I believe.

Good Evening All, I have a transformer that seems to have blown in the loft. It is an Aurora AU-130, converting 240v to 11.5v. It is marked 35 - 150W/VA. I can't find a replacement of the same model or type. Should I get a 0 - 150W/VA or will a 50 - 150 do? There are 5 low voltage...

Thanks everyone. I can confirm that when switched on it works fine - there is a dimmer switch which turns on this plus two linked downlights. Nothing blows or trips. I think junction boxes may be a bit complex for me ... unless someone has a good picture guide on what I would need to do...

Thanks for that advice ... Would that be the same if it was just a single live, neutral and earth cable going to the chocblock instead of the three of each? Thanks.

Thanks to everyone who has given me advice so far. I am very young and just getting into the DIY world ... you're all helping a huge amount! The attached photo is of my new downlights. Can someone check that the wiring looks OK from what you can see? Thanks, Nick
