Huh, didn't realise that. And you are not meant to put anything above 40w into a wall candle light with shades, correct? Or is that nonsense? Which leaves me at a dead end (unless you know of any other option that does not involve changing the light fittings)?

I have tried others (of the same make) and still same problem. I'll try buying a cheapie from the shop of a different make to see if it resolves the issue.

Yep, I did originally have two dimmers on 2 way switches and discovered from previous posts that this was a problem and changed one of them to a dolly switch. However, this doesn't eliminate the problem in that rooms like the lounge have a one way dimmer, and that switch is particularly...

Hi, I have installed dimmer switches in various locations throughout the house (all the same make of switch - think they are called click) that control wall lights (mostly standard incandescent candle bulbs, but some halogen candles) - lights are of a varying make. Problem is that sometimes...

There were uglier, this one was certainly the looker of the bunch. The wiring diagram was useless. I searched the web as well and found no better. I also emailed them about it, no response. I'll have a look again tonight, but I did search the thing inside and out not finding anything.

Afraid my camera has gone... I found it on the web, but can't find a picture of the backside with the connections... http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Images/Products/size_3/CP56C313SLASH2SLASH4EL.JPG

Hi, I bought a clipsall two gang external socket with built in RCD and have one question I was hoping you could help with - there is no terminal in the socket for the earth - where does that go?

I've called two more plumbers to have a look, one being British Gas (to get their view as well). The first plumber came recommended from three friends that have used him, so I presumed he would be good. My only brief to them was that I wanted something that would maintain current water...

Thank you doitall, sounds like I can relax about the cast iron issue, although I am not sure how to figure out flow rates of mains water. JohnD, this system hasn't been presented as an option. Although I am keen to preserve the history of the house, I am also keen to support progress with...

With regards to the point on cast iron rads shattering, I couldn't find anything on the site, has anyone found anything? This comment fills me with fear, as our entire system has cast iron rads (which I really want to keep, as they look fantastic and produce an enormous amount of heat).

Thanks everyone for your advise, it is unbelievably helpful (as my knowledge in plumbing is poor). Sounds like the general consensus is that I should be fine with a combi boiler on the old rads as irrespective of opinion on the matter, the system has coped with it now for many years so it...

Hi, I am having my current system replaced (10 year old Potterton with hot water tank) in a 4/5 story house with old cast iron radiators throughout. My plumber is recommending a mega flow because of the cast iron radiators - he is saying that a pressurised system can cause leakage and damage...
