Having read all the helpfull comments I decided I would change the cable to 2.5mm, very glad I made this decision as this is what I found buried under the plaster........

Thanks for all of that John, point 1 does anyone make a single socket to fit a double back box? Point 2 not sure where I could easily fit an FCU point3 looks like I will have to rip it out and start again, not sure whether it's in conduit or something else as it runs horizontally. Won't be...

Hi there, just moved into new property and my predecessor has installed a spur off the radial circuit in what appears to be 1.5mm T&E, as I only intend to ever run the tv and sky box of this socket can I leave it as is or do I have to rip it out and replace with 2.5mm or even 4mm?

Have turned C/H off have H/W on constant turned stat to max but boiler only runs for a very short while and keeps repeating itself but return pipe remains cold.

Thanks for that, boiler fires up for a very short time, maybe a minute max, then shuts off, keeps doing that whereas when C?H calls the boiler runs for a long time, could it be an airlock

Should the return pipe from the hot water cylinder be at least warm? Have cleaned C/H system and all rads are lovely and hot, the 3 port valve appears to work making the feed to the cylinder hot but the bottom return pipe remains cold and the hot water doesn't get very hot. Any ideas what the...
