Haven't dug holes yet. So for info the wire coming out in porch is a 1.5 twin and earth. All intact when I inspected cable All ok pull out about 1.5 ft when you wiggle can hear it tapping ceiling in hallway and the light switch by front door has usual two wires coming down so must be a junction...

Right couldn't,t wait so hooked up a bulb holder wired into end wires placed multimeter across bulb load and turned switch on and now zero volts :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Removed and 176 back so looks like a neutral issue and further inspection required.. Pray an endoscope works so I don't...

Ok thanks everyone i'm worried to do the load test ... Through fear the reading will then show zero.. With fear the neutral is cut somewhere. I will perform this test tomorrow and if zero volts shown will try to invest in an endoscopy thing to see for the sake of 40 pound and a few ceiling holes...

Yep when lamp attached no light .. If the neutral was touching a ground would the red not fire on the consumer unit? ... Really appreciate all your help here guys as this is last attempt before opening up above....

If a joint was disturbed would it not be either no voltage or correct 240 ? Not sure what scenario would drop it to 176 :( - what do you think have you encountered this before.. Still clutching before digging into ceiling :(

Really good recent wake consumer box fitted and no issues with lighting circuit and yes reading is with light switch turned on. Checked light switch unit which also is good.

Yep pretty good with installing and testing electrics with voltages and yes these readings were with mulimeter hence specific voltage of 176.. Just no idea what would cause the drop. All other lighting electrics within the house near porch read correct

Anyone any ideas what would reduced down a porch light socket from 240 to a now 176 volts. Examined hall light by from door and all voltages perfect. I just have no idea why the voltage would be down to 176 and this is the bare wires ( removed hanging light fitting). Asking for ideas before I...

Hi Hugh thanks for the info.. Couple of points 1) not sure how to run system as switchmaster has no manual setting its screwdriver job to turn to the Middle position then the only way the system will run is if both stats are on else switchmaster will move to the triggered stat. No idea how to...

One thing I did not do was have the switchmaster at halfway between hot water and central heating. It was set at Central heating only and I thought because of that no air would enter the hot water loop. Perhaps a refill could be worth a try. The system is 25 years old and before I touched it had...

please any further suggestions anyone - how I can remove air from the hot water loop ..

yes and around the pipe down to the pump and so on. There is water in there and the tank heats without tripping out just worrying sounds of air in the water

Hi Ya - yes a hiss for 1 sec then water and I have bled this for 10 minutes or more and no further air comes out. Its like the water that is coming is from the central heating \I just don't seem to get the air out of the coil!! no idea how to resolve. I have even tried having the switchmaster...

please please can someone aid my frustration. I have an old style potterton boiler which heats the central and immersion heating via a timemaster valve. I have changed all rads in house recently plus towel rails. Each time I drain system and refill. Central circuit no problems all air out BUT I...
