It will be straight from the stop tap to a tee piece at the water heater and then on to the cold tap, nothing else in the pipework. They are going in a shepherd's hut and we were going to use blue 20mm pipe under the hut which would be about 1.5m of the 2 metre length, we could change that and...

We have just purchased 2 of the above heaters, the instructions don't make it very clear, the MI don't specify the 6 litre model do we follow the instructions for the 10 litre model, we are just unsure if we need the expansion vessel The layout will be from stop tap on mains, about 2 metres of...

We haven't built many yet, covid messed things up, The electrician we were using is off sick and will not return to work full time, so we don't think he'll renew any scheme membership (can't remember who he was with) But from what has been mentioned on here, doing live testing in our workshop...

Thanks for all the replies, it seems there is no set way of dealing with this and a few different options. I did suggest that their electrician did all the testing himself, although he didn't seem too keen on that. (I would install it myself but don't want issues further down the line with the...

Yes this is what we were told re building regs. I have just found this https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/236150/930113-_Dcl_about_The_Building_Regulations_1991_-_Caravans_and_Mobile_Homes.pdf

Thanks for the replies, I'm still not much clearer regarding the best way to go about this, I'm happy to study the latest regs etc and to wire it ourselves (as one reply says it's only a couple of circuits) but without calibrated test gear would the results be acceptable The electrician at the...

We have a small business (sideline) making Shepherds huts, we have an order for a new hut that will have some electrics, couple of sockets, couple of lights, small consumer unit with RCD and the customer wants it on a caravan type hook up. What electrical certificate / testing would be required...

Air flow meter or MAF sensor

It was only a 3 amp fuse, and I replaced it with 3 amp, what is likely to have failed

I've got an old system of Baxi back boiler and fully pumped system for heating and hot water. Went to have a bath last night and no hot water, tried the boost button on the programmer nothing happened, Changed the fuse in the FCU and switched on, there was a bang and flash from the programmer...

The car was very hot, good warm up before test and the tester warmed it up even more. I'm thinking it might be the non-gen cat and i'm looking into getting it changed under warranty Hope a new cat and a different air flow meter will do the trick

These are common faults on the Focus if you google it there is loads of info, can't remember if there are any definite solutions. There is one thread on the RAC forum which stretches to about 46 pages, sorry can't be of any more help Just had a thought some Focus's had problems with water...

I didn't get a copy of the readings (would have to go back to garage) although the CO was the only reading out of limits It even passed the natural idle test where the limit is 0.5 I was wondering about injectors, fuel consumption seems ok although it would not need alot of fuel to raise CO by...

This is a car i've mot'd for a few years it always struggles on the emissions test, this year the CO reading is 0.45 (should be 0.3) tester tried and tried to get it down but no luck It is a 1998 with the !.5 engine so fairly basic by today's standards. Its had new plugs new air filter...

Something like this was one of our first thoughts, although after reading on Dementia forums it allows the possibility of accidentally being locked in the ON position, which could make matters worse in event of an emergency. The item you linked to seemed to be used for preventing items being...

John explained better than me, some people don't like touching the CU even to reset a breaker

I'm not sure of the cooker rating, but it is an older style freestanding cooker on a 32A breaker, I'll check the rating, This is similar to my suggestion in my opening post although I was going to use the rotary isolator switch which was the only lockable switch I could find with a higher...

A lockable switch next to the CU would not be easy, it is quite a new build flat with the meter and mains fuse recessed in the outside wall, and the CU recessed above but on the inside wall, all wiring hidden in wall. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I have considered locking off the breaker, but on occasions it will be a carer helping with meals, I know some people are not keen on anything electrical and might not be happy fiddling inside consumer unit, so not sure if it would be a good idea (although it would be the easiest solution)

Thanks for quick reply, mum has early signs of some sort of dementia, social worker wants cooker switching off permanently, but that is going to make it very difficult for family members helping with meals. So i've suggested a lockable switch (was thinking an industrial type rotary isolator and...
