Thanks John, I just would of thought that if this position was the "normal" position then the cable would still be dirty, after all it is not sliding through bushes or anything to clean the dirt off? and it woudl sepnd most of its life in this position? Anyhow, thanks for your input, I tried...

Hello, just wondering if you fine people could give some advice. my partner elderly aunts car has completely broke down. went to have a look (as do most other stuff around her house) and could not get her car into any gear. Clutch completely broke! The clutch itself only comes up about half...

Glad you got sorted, and for the comments on yourself. MMMMM very nice :wink:

I cant remember the exact difference to be honest. I think the value i was getting for the R1+R2 taking in with the switch wires was something like 3.5 ohms. just taking on the last link of the loop in out was 1.9 or something. im going back tonight where all em test sheets are so could...

Hi, hopefully one of you fine people can help me and tell me if I am correct in my thinking. My Boiler was making strange noises the other day and now it wont ignite and therefore i have no hot water or central heating. I read through the manual and have checked a lot of the checks that are...

Hi Mule, Well don't expect a black and white answer here as I don't think there is one. There is many scenario's for this case from what i have seen and also read. you can do as you have done and used the OSG to the letter, which on most scenario's it would prove that you are using more...

well no doubt I will be shot down in flames, but im bored at work and it seems a logical question. Why does the premises have to be rewired? as long as the cables are still functional and have not deteriated over the years and pass all the eletrical tests that should be carried out before hand...

well that is a relief, so what is the two pulleys that the alternator belt go around. i thought the one on the bottom was the pistons or whatever the stupid thing is?? anyways, thanks for that info, i just have to get the stupid thing out the bottom engine compartment now which i guess means...

hi, well after a lot of hammering, swearing and everything else, i have managed to get me alternator off (as well as the whole tensioning spindle :roll: ), unfortunatelly it is now stuck in the bottom engine comaprtment and cannot be removed upwards :cry: i guess the only way to do it is...

Hi, just wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction. Just been outside and my alternator is well and truly dead. Just had the AA out to confirm. so question is, does anyone know the exact model I require, I have seen on the net and there seems to be a few different types? also...

also, if the light is mains voltage then you will have to ensure that it is on the RCD side of the CU, or have a RCD fitted inline. Other option is to make sure it is extra low voltage (12v or similar)

Yes, I know all about Part P and testing and that this work is notifiable. Ill admit that I havent been keeping upto date with the 17th ed regs etc. but considering they dont come into force until later in this year then there is no real to worry about them yet, plus my college isnt doing the...

Hi, I am going to be visiting a friend of a friends house shortly to replace there CU (old fuse wire type) with a new CU. My question is shall I replae it now with what will be the 17th edition style (all circuits basically connected to RCD) or is it still acceptable to replace with a normal...

Hi, was just wondering what kind of jobs the people that frequent this site are currently working on? domestic? commercial? industrial? fingers in all the pies? just interested
