oh and yes i did change the MCb's to RCBO's ?so the lights n sockets, cooker n shower are independantley RCD'd as he said that is best way, so if an appliance goes wrong at night you still have light to move safetly round.

yeah he will check it n sign it off as safe and correct to part p standard, i thought its pretty normal to do so, he's fully acredited, its very simple new CU n the 10mm cable runs out of the cupboard into the switch which is by the door not above the shower tray, then it is chased into the wall...

hi, no he will check the whole installation, all i have done is put the new consumer unit and the feed for the shower,

hi, just to check i have got this all right before i get the electrician to sign it off. Old fuse box was 3 wirable fuses sockets, lights and cooker, i wanted to put an 8.5kW electric shower in the bathroom, so replaced the old fuse box with a new CU 5 way, 1 for sockets at 32A, Lights at...

ok so connect two way switch like for like on 3 core, then take my live feed and connect it to a lamp holder with bulb, then take feed out the other side into L1 and L2, one of these will keep the bulb on and the other will make it so that i can switch it from either switch. The bulb should...

yeah, this is where i got stuck, the neutral connection, the whole house is protected by an RCB unit, which is a pain as it trips just as a bulb is about to blow and everything goes off. In the garage it has an old style wired fuses box with a 15amp one for the lighting (bit high if you ask me)...

right thank you, i will put it into plastic conduit across the pathway which should be ok when its anchored at each end.

yes that is all correct, now the question is how do i wire all this together to make it work again, its a mess and is a bit unusual in the manner it is done, thanks

also not to mention the live feed for garage and the 3 core are standard cable 2m above a pathway taped to a rusty old unearthed metal conduit (think part p says single cable has to be 4.5m), so if they don't work i will suggest to the guy about putting armour cable in from a box where it comes...

yes there was a feed into the box. which also had the feeds for outside lights, the 3 core and a feed from mcb. Checked all fuses on the MCB in the house and garage none have blown, also the outside lights are not on a fused switch, they were in fact on an old style switch which was cracked...

yes 3 core with bare earth cable dangling which is not live and is connected like for like in the house switch which also is not live. Also have 2 flat twin & earth cables which are connected to each other in juctions box neither of which is live, i put la ive feed onto these live to live and...

hi, Removed some old wiring from a garage and simplified the electrics but in doing this i disconnected the feed from the garage for the outside lights around the house and cannot work out how it even worked before, this is what i know. House has 4 lights which go back to a junction box...
