Thanks for your reply, my apologies for the confusion I genuinely made a mistake in writing up the order in my post above (I will edit that immediately after this post to correct). I did follow your steps in order, this is what I did: - I set main switch to 'off', then RCD to 'on' - which had...

Thanks guys I followed your suggestions. - I set main switch to 'off', then RCD to 'on' - which had resistance this time and stayed on - then put RCD back to 'off' - then main switch back to 'on', RCD back to 'on' (now with resistance again), then switched MCBs back to 'on' one at a time (I...

Thanks, did seem a bit strange that N&L are the other way round to most RCDs I can find online. I've added some more photos to show all connections. Would it be more sensible at this stage to think about replacing the whole Consumer Unit? (rather than losing money on just getting the...

This Protek RCD (on a Protek consumer unit) recently tripped and does not work since being tripped, this British General RCD is the closest I can find online to match it, would this one be ok as a replacement? I'm not going to try to replace it myself (for obvious safety reasons!), just trying...

Thanks guys for the clear steps, much appreciated, Gasop the idea of putting the tee in for future clearing if necessary is great, and Hugh thanks for the link and info about the solvent welding, that will save me trying to take it off like a madman! Will report back when done! Cheers :)

Thanks all for the replies :) Sorry, yes Hugh the toilet connection is above, the white waste pipe going into the stack is from the shower (a few days ago the flow slowed so I ran hot water through it for a bit and it seems clear now) The toilet flushes ok with clear water and not...

Hello all! got a bit of a soil pipe blockage and leak: (please excuse the graphic content of the photo lol!) The drip from the gunk is dripping once every few seconds, then quicker for a bit when the toilet is flushed. Would I be right in thinking best course of action is: - clear...

Hello all! I've got to chase in new wiring and conduit for a small 1-bedroom flat (into plasterboard), and chase wiring into a kitchen (masonry). Would a bolster and cold chisel get the job done or would an entry-level sds drill be a better option? From research it seems sds drills are...

Thanks RF for clearing that up! It makes more sense now. Am I right in thinking that the digital meter being newer would also be able to control the timing of eco 7 activation without relying on the old timer switch? Based on that I assume the old timer's just been left as it provides the...

Thanks r896neo that's very useful, I won't waste time on the shoddy half-job of the pea-shingle way now! :) Would Granular Sub Base MOT1 from e.g. wickes etc. be recommended for the 150mm deep compacted sub-base? (they're selling 850kg for £65 including delivery, is that a good price?)...

Thanks Rf Lighting and all! I've added a couple of photos of the supply meters. The new meter seems to be connected to the output of the old meter. On the new meter is written 'multirate' and '2 rate' - so with this setup will the electricity supply (and all sockets?) automatically switch...

Greetings all! I've just picked up a load of 60cm x 60cm x 5cm paving slabs from someone, and am wanting to lay them loosely over the current grass so that the car can be parked on them. Someone mentioned to me to put a layer of pea shingle down first and then put the paving slabs on...
