stalking you, how ridiculous, it was a little poke of fun to lower your oversized ego (on 1 other forum from which u posted information on this forum.) someone who truly didnt want this thread wouldnt keep posting "inflammatory" remarks they'd ignore it.it reminds me of a hippo i once saw in crete

Thats the most encouraging post from a professional (presumably) I have read on this forum. :D

Why do people keep spouting about regulations when DIY electrics is LEGAL after application through the BCO. Its ridiculous, you just don't seem to get the argument no matter how many times its typed out. Perhaps you think that if you go on about it, you will confuse the issue enough and DIY'ers...

Securespark wrote Another point well made. We could say I didn't have the instructions, the supplier hadn't given any and I had to contact phoenix direct to get them or did you fail to understand what I typed. Clearly! I wonder if that also applies to your electrical skills Because I...

this is starting to get a little boring. Yes, correct but this can still be done by the DIY'er. DIY DIY DIY DIY DIY DI clucking Y

Pardon my farmyard language but "cock and bull", but perhaps your right as I see very little point in what you've just written. How are you supposed to get the knowledge in the first place, imbibition ? Thats what DIY is about, learning to do things for yourself. Surely the beginners should be...

Dumbass in this country you can get an education without having money and I certainly had none,I wasn't given any to go to university either or given encouragement to get a decent education but I still did it. Came out with 36000 debt. True, but I was starting to feel the balance was a...

1. I didn't dispute work should be done legally, but the advice should be directed to a diy'er, its a diy forum and the work CAN be done legally if the proper channels are used. This should be the advice given not "get an electrician". Don't hijack it, get off it if you don't believe diy'ers...

Unfortunately it is not often communicated effectively without patronization and the level of “concern” electricial professionals have about the danger to diy’ers is not always done in a “concerned” manner leading me to believe a lot of it is insincere. If you take the view that electric...

Well, I agree that was a dumb thing to say but it is frustrating that this forum appears more like a professionals forum rather than DIY and all you get for advice is "get an electrician" ie. people who want to propagate their own trade which pi**es me off. If people have posted on here its...

That doesn't make any sense at all and also last time I looked this is a DIY forum, not a "only advice allowed to fellow professionals" forum . I appreciate any help but that doesnt mean I wont check out whats to be done personal examples 1.Girlfriends (now ex) car goes into garage-say...

Here is a picture of the gear and Phoenix instructions arrived this morning. As below. Electrical connection THIS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN :D 1.Supply requirements - 240v, 13amp, live neutral, earth 2.Wiring must comply with all regulations for electrical...

No, I hadn't contacted an electrician (and I would prefer one with poor self respect if he did the job correctly) and aren't going to until I get an idea of whether its feasible for me to do it AND I want to know what needs to be done so if I do get one the electrician doesn't rip me off or take...

..

As I said I hope to do it (depending on how much I can learn for myself) and then get it checked, don't fancy electrocuting myself in the bath so it will be checked before installing.( I'm also installing a shower that has a radio in built on the 1st floor so I'll will be wiring that aswell and...

Thanks, that was what I was hoping to do I'll check tonight but I'm fairly sure it says that on the pump, its a 450 litre bath with 14 water jets. I was going to locate the circuit breaker next door. Is there a minimum distance it needs to be from the bath ? I think my ring circuit is...

This is lightly a very basic question but don't be alarmed by my inexperience and I'm probably not going to attempt the wiring by myself and if I did I'd be getting a trained electrician to check it before going live. I've installed a whirlpool bath and done all the necessary plumbing. Lastly...
