I have a leak coming from the top of the window frame. It happens when in the upstairs shower, I think , but it only happens once in awhile years apart. Any ideas?

Yes I got an electrician to look at it he confirmed that the upstairs plug ring and the downstairs ring are cross . Somewhere but said the a faults must have developed since it has been ok for seven years up initials yesterday. Anybody got any ideas I have tested all,sockets and switched...

Thanks to all seems to be a weird one. It still tripped when everything was turned off and unplugged??? Apart from fridge and baby monitor upstairs. I replace a bulb in the fridge that blew a while back on Friday so I've taken that out to see if it trips again. So far it hasn't...

Hi there, It is the kitchen sockets and the upstairs sockets. They do trip at the same time. I have switched everything off, heating , washing machine and unplugged everything except the fridge and the baby monitor on that circuit. I don't understand why all of a sudden it is doing this...

Only a dab radio which was plugged in but not switched on at the socket. I have now unplugged it and stopped the washing machine. I did have a few problems with the dab radio not working until I messed around with the plug, it is one of those you slot in the three pin or the 2 pin euro. I...

Hi there, Thanks for the reply. There are no test buttons only trip switches. They say 32a and a brand name I presume WYLEX. Thanks John

They have tripped again so I put the heating on to see if that would trip it again it didn't also thought it might be the washing machine but that is running now also and no trips. There is an office block that is being converted to flats about 5 6 streets away I notice they had started...

Sunday afternoon and 2 RCDS tripped and one would not come back on. check all appliances and sockets and could not find anything that would trip it again. We have not done anything with the electric of late. They did trip again and went off again after about 10 mins with no obvious cause...

Hi All, simple job I thought, install new double socket. When I take the old one off I find the neutral connected to the live terminal and the live connected to the neutral terminal. Also both the earth wires have been connected to the same terminal when there are 2. Is this safe? been that way...

can post a picture later,

There are lots (maybe 10) of earth wires on the meter board on blocks next to the meter so there must be earthing somewhere and it looks like the sinks and pipes in the kitchen are bonded. ive only just moved in by the way. Are all the earth wires on the board normal and there appears to be...

I think the cooker is wired separatley but the oven was playing up when both bulbs were working its ok with one bulb. could it have something to do with the wiring in the kitchen.

Stupid question but you test for the switch wire with the power on i presume? not keen on that.

I have just changed a switch from a metal case one to another. There was no earth wire do i have to use a plastic switch. If it needs an earth does it have to go back to the consumer unit. Thanks in advance.

I have just put some new bulbs in a cooker extractor hood and one of them blew within a day. I have just moved into the house and the lights on the hood were not working so changed the bulbs. What could be the problem if one of the bulbs are blowing and no the other one.

Not using any old ones just the ones that came with the computers, old computer- printer mouse and keyboard and same with the new one that has been returned. To be honest i was told it was the motherboard on the original computer after putting in the new graphics card and the computer...
