Yes, they push in, then slide up to lock into place. Strange use for such a fuse-holder - I wonder if the meter, is a privately owned meter, tapped into one of the flat supplies, then the freeholder was supposed to reimburse the cost of the used units, back to the flat owner?

Clothes peg/bit of copper wire/a bit of timber/G-clamp/........,

Leisure batteries are a better design, for this type of use, or even better a Lithium, or LiPo4. Call it 50w (allowing for inverter, inefficiency) for 10 hours = 500w, or half a Kilowatt hour. 12v x 500 = 42amp/hour battery. Double that, because lead/acid batteries, don't appreciate being...

A slip coupling?

5 core certainly keeps your options open, but no need for heat-resistant, or conduit, unless there is a risk of mechanical damage.

It seems to be a cut-out fuse, supplying the meter - I'll bet that blew as well.

Yep, I saw that, but thought it was maybe confused with the earlier report of 15 year old. Seems to be so many reports, of underage rapes, by immigrants.

What is the unit, with 'auto-test' on it?

Looks like possibly 1mm?

OK, so probably similar accuracy to an electronic version. Our electronic, also toasts the second batch with less time needed, simply due to starting with the toaster warm. We also find it toasts more, on the inner element sides, than the outer ones, so half-way through we spin the faces of the...

Your installer should have registered the warranty (25 years), as they failed to do that, the onus is on them to honour the warranty. You could try explaining this to Consentino, and see how they respond.

Didn't see the black!

That depends. If it's only a 1mm cable, it will only be able to support around 11 amps, not really adequate for a socket, if that is in a kitchen. The first things you need to do, is find out if it is live, and where it is fed from, MCB or etc.. Likely it will go into a joint-box, located in...

Victoria?

Are those alarms mains interlinked? If they are then would the interlinking still work, during a mains failure? Obviously they would fail to all trigger if the wiring failed to one or more of the alarms - another plus point for a mains fail bleep.. It ensures both that the mains supply is...

Even fed via a lighting circuit, it still doesn't guarantee your alarms are getting their mains supply - they could be omitted during repairs/upgrades/modifications, or the internal mains adaptor could fail. The only near certain way, is a mains failure bleep, built into the alarm itself. A...

Yep, very annoying for the reader. Some people, just have a surplus of time on their hands, or their whole life is centred on this forum. It dilutes down, the value of this site, for those who seek an answer. The moderation of the site, is absolutely appallingly poor.

That seems to suggest a very poor design.

Well, whatever you call it - it's a little bit better, but still awfully dark, compared to live, or playback from the same source, while the program is still on, using the green button. Weird, that it only affects some program content on iplayer, but not the other similar sources, ITVX, 4, 5, and U.

0.75mm is more than adequate, for all the wiring of a heating system. All systems have all the wiring, run to a central point. The 'central point', is usually in the airing cupboard, where the hot water cylinder is located, the pump, and at least one valve. Modern boilers, expect the pump, to...
