Hi We have knocked a wall down and need to join a triple 2 way switch. Now the issue is we have this timber which we are happy to just make good with plasterboard and have a slight drop between the two rooms. We don't think it's worth the hassle involved to make it flat. The trouble is I need...

It wasn't a puddle in the fan just a coating of condensation on the terminals if that makes sense?

Bathroom fitted 2 years ago. Fan never was right so they replaced it 6 months later. Just a regular 240v extractor on the ceiling that has a humidity sensor. Anyway it's gone bang today. I had a fairly long fairly hot shower. It has condensed inside the housing and directly shorted the live...

Thanks for the replies lads. I will say I'd definitely do it if it was just me using it but on reflection and after some of your comments we've ordered a new lift. Not the same and I bet it is nowehere near as sturdy but it's officially safe.

Apologies, the diagram is slightly drawn wrong, I was thinking of a toggle switch up and down so it can't be pressed together. Originally the board had one reversing contactor and two seperate contractors. When one went out of sync it would drop one contactor so the other one would catch up...

First off I hope I am posting in the right section. Second, I have a 2 post lift that I am having issues with. The control board was damaged and we ordered one in. It is a German lift, not THAT old but not sold anymore. The company got what they thought was the correct board in and we fitted...

Brill thanks. Sounds a little out of my depth so I will just have to wait for the skilled guys. It is a four post lift.

We are installing an MOT bay. We are doing it ourselves with the help of a builder. I will obviously discuss all this with him but I am trying to work out ROUGH costs and he is away at present. We have a concrete floor that is approx 6-8 inches thick. We need to make a bay approx 7 inches...

Makes perfect sense of course. Hence why you can't spur off a spur! Cheers

Purely theoretical, I've had some work done at my unit and have a question after he's finished. Nothing to do with his work at all but theoretically, if you put another socket in your home and do it via a single wire spur then that socket obviously has limited load capacity. Why can you not...

Installing a 2 post lift and have an issue that we keep hitting rebar. I need to drill 8 holes that have all hit rebar. We are using a Hilti SDS Plus drill. Hilti do some bits they reckon will do it. I bought a “rebar cutter” for 50 quid and it blunted almost instantly. Load of rubbish. I have...
