So, Ive taken the master socket apart and you are correct! Thank you very much for your help. I don't need to post photo's. It all makes sense now. Saved me from a catastrophic mistake Cheers!

Thank you for your reply. Will you please check back tomorrow and I'll put photo's on. But it's looking like (from your reply) that I can't do anything about this horrible wire!

I've pretty much given up trying to get a response from Openreach as they never seem to reply and you end up going round and round the garden when you try ringing them! We moved into a property recently and there is conduit on the outside of the house ( which houses the BT cable?) on the...

:D Yeah, I could do that but the bedroom would end up like a bear pit!! Cheers

i have recently changed my internal door locks and handles problem now is they rattle when there is a window open how can i fix this?

I am thinking of installing Air Con in the conservatory and wonder if anyone can share their opinions with me. Basically, I wonder what the pro's and cons are over a split system, through the wall system and these type...

Many thanks, didn't want to go trying to force it and breaking the plastic!

I am in the process of removing ceramic tiles from my kitchen and need to remove the timing switch casing for my central heating so i can get the tiles off easier. Does anyone know how to remove the front cover from the above honeywell. I presume there's a little screw on the underside and...

....just the Porch light, guess I'll have to look at the Hall light a little closer

..Got the link in the COM too!

Yes, reading the back of the switches correctly, it's quite clear. I've not been able to get the hall light on at all no matter what combination I've been putting the wires in. The reason why I took the switch cover off in the first place was because the light kept "tripping" and the switch...

Same result as I got when I wired the way described by Sparky!

ban-all-sheds, I've done what you suggested too and got the same result. The porch light on but not the hall light? I'm starting to think the light might be U/s?

Thanks Sparkyspike! I've done exactly as you said. The Porch light comes on but not the hallway light? I'll have to call up the services of a mate with a multi meter, thanks for your help thus far

I have an idea how the lighting works. No it isn't a two way switch. I gather the RED from the first grey wire is the LIVE feed and should be connected to COM (on the first switch?). No I don't have a multi meter, sorry....

I have a 2 gang light switch which operates a porch light and hall light. Recently I had to disconnect it and though i thought I'd taken care to notice what went where when I got the replacement switch all my careful planning kind of went wrong!!! So here I am trying to put the correct wires...

Is it possible to clean up a sandstone fireplace that has bits of matt emulsion overpaint on it?

Trying to get my telephones to work!!!! The BT incoming cable has the following colours: 3(???) solid whites, one solid green, one solid blue and one solid orange. The solid Blue and one of the solid whites is connected to the Test socket behind the top part of the master socket(if you...
