OK ... sorted and tested :) It is live

OK, got one of these. How do I use it? sorry for all the daft questions :oops:

No I haven't! I have one of those electrician type screw-drivers. I take it I just shove it in and it lights up?

Many thanks for the reply. I will do that test tomorrow. The switch must have been there for umpteen years! I was hoping that if I do decide not to use it I could finish the 2 red cables like the 2 black ones and put a blanking plate on the front. Will that be OK? Mick

Hello I'm doing up my kitchen. I found this switch on top of the old wall units. I can't suss what it's for or does. It 'looks' like it's for some lights they may have had planned but never finished? I might move it and use it for some form of lighting. But I'll probably just blank it off...

Hello I have a strange problem. That's even got my mechanic friend baffled, I hope you guys can help! :? The car starts fine in the mornings or when it's been stationary for a while. However, when I drive to work (25 miles away) and park up. If I try to start the car again when it's...

Hello I'm replacing a couple rads and changing the position of them. I was looking at 2 of those 'designer' long thin rad's but the prices are mental. So I was thinking about getting a standard long thin rad and putting it on it's side, giving me a tall/thin radiator. Well that's the...

Thanks for the replies I wanted to know if it was within regulations to chase out the floor, looks like it is :) I understand there could be problems with the screed etc and thanks for the heads up.

Hello I want to add an extra double socket. I will be running a spur from the closest socket. The only issue is the laying of the cable to the new socket. If I chase out the walls it's quite a distance. However, if I chase out the concrete floor it will be a slick job. So my question is...

I could move it a few inches. But moving it more than that would involve taking up the floor and it cost me a small fortune to get layed mate

Hello I need to replace my stone-resin offset 900x760 left/hand shower tray. The original one had a hair line crack in it that has leaked. So time to replace it :cry: I'm trying to source an identical one coz the position of the drain hole is essential. I hope you guys can help coz I...

Hello Time to decorate before xmas :? A simple question (I think): What is the best 'one-coat' white gloss paint that is readily available to the non-trade person? We have used all sorts of brands over the years. Most yellow eventually. But we want to delay that (for as long as...

These look a but 'fake' mate I'll take a piccie and post it up, but I've checked out those Marley ones and it looks like them

Hello They have recently built an estate close to us using synthetic slate tiles. They 'look' superb. Unfortunately I didn't ask the builders the name of the tiles :oops: I am building a brick shed in the garden and these slates would look great. But I don't have a clue where to source...
