That points towards the element, in the cooker, having failed.

I polished mine up with toothpaste, out of the car, then sprayed them with the clear coat, they use on top of modern car paintwork. It has so far lasted 4 years, without any deterioration at all.

The soil pipe is set in the floor, with the toilet mounted directly on top. There are no leaks from the cistern or pipework.

That I don't know. It is clay round here, so my assumption is the house is built on a raft. Lift the floor coverings, and there is a layer of black compound to be seen. Drill, through that, and there is concrete.

What actually trips - MCB, RCD, or RCBO? A photo of what trips will help, if you cannot be sure.

Something simple, which I have not had for many years, today... Sausage (Lidl 95% pork), egg, and chips.

It's the same on both sides of the wall.

Back in my youth, I laid out several floors of a large bank, and very accurately - using nothing more than a very long length of pipe, and water.

No, all around the toilet is perfectly dry. I know the outside walls were all injected, not sure whether the inner ones would be. I also wondered if the damp course might have been bridged by the plaster, behind the skirting(s).

If the cable is side-by-side twin, a couple of needles to pierce the copper core.

House is built on a slab, on clay, had damp injection 40 plus years ago, and cavity cleaned out. All fine, no problems except one small, out of the way area, which is an internal brick wall. The wall forms a T with the short upper arms of the T, being the inner cavity wall. The wall is around 2...

That qualifies you as the perfect juror!

I usually mark high, then measure down, using a bit of timber if it's a ground level.. Last year, we decided to level off an uneven area at the back of the garden, using a homemade water level, plus two bit of timber - one stuck in the ground with a reference mark, the other to wander round...

Thanks, I never thought of that! Neat idea.

Explain please?

I had in mind, to cone off the lane, and reserve it for breakdowns, as they used to be, until such time as things are back in order. With equipment failures, there is no guarantee that the red X would work. It a total, disgusting and life-threatening shambles. I spent much of my working life...

The extra voltage and current will be to allow for the charging, if you have no intention of charging, it should work absolutely fine.

Smart motorways - If the equipment fails, then it should just default to fail-safe, and shut the lane down, until the equipment is back in working order.

Always spot on, they never need their calibration checked, or adjusted. The only things are, to avoid bubbles in the pipe, and using one usually needs two people cooperating. Better yet, you can easily make one with a bit of pipe, providing the ends of the pipe are clear, so you can see the...

BBC1, this morning - they seem to have some sort of glitch between their programs. Between the programs, they usually do a bit of upcoming program ads, channel logos. None of that this morning, just a plain BBC logo - has someone broken the server?
