Looks like someone was playing a practical joke - name no names!!! You know who you are! Slating is certainly easy with pseudonyms!

Tks for Feedback Felix. The hob made a popping noise and the mcb tripped. I then reset and the hob was working ok apart from reduced power on one ring. A day or so later the hob popped again and the faulty ring did not work at all. However I cannot use any of the rings as if thehob is...

Thanks for adding some sensibility.

John Sounds like you are bitter. Not getting enough work? I can see why with your charm! I have actually put my hand in my pocket a lot lately Johnny boy as rennovating my property. Do you honestly think changing a light fitting is that complicated? If you do then I would suggest you...

I have just checked the CU and he has actually used a 6A breaker for this circuit. I will install the choc blocks tom. Thanks for your help.

I am asking simple questions to ensure no mistakes are made. Better to ask I believe. Changing a light fitting shouldn't really be too complicated should it?! Basically I know hoe to replace the ceiling rose (loop system) with choc blocks but the following instructions for the light fitting...

I have a Consumer unit containing many MCBs (MK LN 5932). I believe these are 32 Amp. One of these is used for the lower ground lighting circuit (hall, 2 living rooms, 2 x cupboards). Do I need to change the MCB for this particular circuit? Regards the choc block I should use. I am correct...

Cheers for the info. I will change the old ceiling rose parts for choc boxes as I have done in the past for previous light fittings. Do the termional blocks need to be 5A? Do I need to do anything else? Regards the lighting circuit being protected by a 5-amp fuse, what should I do here...

I have installed a new light fitting where there was previously a ceiling rose using the loop wiring system. Connections on the new spotlight were L, N and E so I managed to clip out the terminal blocks from the existing ceiling rose and trimmed the L and N from the existing terminator block...

Can you tell me how I would wire using 4 choc boxes. Hopefully I can fit into base so would avoid taking floorboards up. Another option would be to re-wire the rose. The plate may then fit into the base. Would this be ok too?

Cheked the forum. I see your point! I may re-install the rose for a while then. How can I check which cable runs to the switch without taking the floorboards up? When it comes to installing the new light fitting am I better off keeping the wire connections on the rose loop-in system and...

I just tried to install a new light flitting in place of an existing rose. There are currently three cables so 2 x earth, 2 x live, 2 x neutral. After disconnecting the rose I had hoped that all I would have to do was put all live, earth and neutral cables in relevant connector...
