because it seems domestic electricians appear to be in many cases to resist change! i love wago's industrial din rail terminals- i have fitted thousands in the last 10 or so years and have not had an issue with any, the newer top job terminals don't require the use of a tool to connect the cable...

I've done this too on my own house - a slot cut down the wall with a grinder is very easy to fill- you can also hide the little wire down a edge of a door architrave etc

I wouldn't think so, TN-C-S isn't allowed at source for anything other than office buildings if I remember the regulations and ACOP correctly. When I was at college a lecturer said he had been involved with the install of TNC system in a block of flats while he was an apprentice..... Wired...

What the holes were drilled with is questionable.... But it's ok the edge protection provided by grommets will stop any damage to the insulation...

I used to be impressed by those cheap 10,30 & 50w flood lights, the boys must have fitted a couple of hundred - but of the last 40 there's been in excess of a 50% failure rate.... Looking for a different brand not Chinese made brand, but still need to be sensibly priced and robust

People not being able to fix motor control panels has kept me busy for years! TBH none of it is rocket science you "just" need to sit there draw a diagram and work it out. Slate mounted open Contactors and face plate starters are the biggest PITA but they are getting rare.

Water leaks came as standard on an LDV, I had a new one years ago and that leaked from day one That was one of the minor issues........ Gearbox falling out was more serious...

Long overdue for replacement!

Have a bit of a love of mud. Owned a few different 4x4's Lots of Suzuki SJ's A couple of Vitara's Jeep CJ7 Jeep Cherokee Couple of navaras G wagon Currently I have "only" got, Land cruiser 70series 1947 jeep CJ2a Discovery 4

All the Toyota drivers got home!

My work is all in industry, complex control systems, design, installation, modification, maintenance, coding for PLC's etc I have several sites which I cover 24/7 for breakdowns. Can't remember the was time I worked with T&E!

Still waiting for them to ring me and arrange a site meeting over a earthing issue, every time I chase them up I get either an engineer who hasn't got a clue or your call will returned in the next 2 working days :!:

I don't do an electricians job so I can't really say what to expect RF your cheap! My hourly rate is £39.50.. Am regularly doing a 1000 miles a week and am turning people away...well usually they wait for me :x so theirs no escape! But as said Im not 'just' a sparky - no offence ment to...

Apprentices theres another challenge! have 3 at the moment.... 1 very good 1 getting good 1 lost cause waste of space- college think he is amazing :roll: shows how useless class room drive skills training is :|

Quick question to all Business is manic and theirs not enough of us so I'm looking to employ another skilled person (electrician / higher qualified person) for a test and inspection / maintenance electrician / fault finder on industrial installations. what do people expect to be paid...

I'd love a nice cheap user friendly drawing package too. There is some very expensive CAD electrical packages out there but they are horrible to get your head around and I'm not a fan of the drawings they produce.... I use Greenstreet draw, which is an old old drawing package But I find it...

When we moved to our current house 3 years ago the garage supply was one of the many things on my list as it was 2.5mm t&e buried in the garden! I earth looped it and found I had a silly high earth resistance..... So best replace t&e with a proper cable, 4mm sounds ok at a guess, 10 or 16...

The cables are swa's no glands are used.... Earthing as guessed is suspect

It was horrible could well be the reason for the fire..... Place needs rewiring from the incomer on, but I think planning has been granted for 1500 homes on part of his land - think milking cows might seem less inviting soon :roll:
