Hi all, a strange fault for you I hope, something to get those little grey cells working ;) A PLC power supply that has a 2A fuse in the live and a 2A fuse in the neutral...an Italian design. Sometimes when the machine is turned off the 2A fuse in the neutral will blow. Anyone come...

Hi, we have a 1 bed property and want to convert to 2 bed. The bathroom is 12ft by 8ft and we want to shrink this to about 5ft by 8ft and have a 7ft (just under) by 8ft bedroom. The bathroom will be accessible to both bedrooms through their own lockable doors. Would this add value to...

Hi, we are planning on partitioning our 1st floor bathroom into 2 rooms i.e. a shower room and a bedroom. I would like to know what I am allowed to do legally without requiring LABC notification or a qualified plumber...any work which I am not legally allowed to do I will get a plumber in...

Hi, I just tested a motor at work that someone bought in and it has a short circuited armature. Looking for a spare but prices are around £210-£300! which means it would be cheaper to buy a new machine. :roll: Does anywhere do repaired motors on the cheap?

Hi, just got back after a week away and there's a problem with our boiler. If you turn on the hot water the boiler ignites and the water gets hot. After 20-30 secs the boiler switches off, the water gets cold, sometimes the boiler re-ignites sometimes it does not. Turning the tap off...

Hi, to cut a long story short, HSE come in and say that machine 'x' is very dangerous and needs fixed guarding although we think it is low risk they give us a notice of improvement which will result in us not being able to use the machine in about 6 months time if the work is not done...

Hi, I'm getting a 4 x 6 aluminium and polycarbonate greenhouse today...if they deliver it...still no sign, anyway, it comes with a steel base and from what I have read it is a bad idea to just put it straight onto the ground as the frame can twist over time. What would be a good way to...

...should they have a siren/flashing light to warn other road users? The reason I ask is, coming home the other week at midnight on a 70mph dual carriageway another car raced up behind me doing what looked like 90+. We both then slowed down for the 50mph safety area, he slowed down to 60...

I was looking at getting the shed wired up...yes I know old topic lol anyway I notice that the main incoming fuse before the meter is 60A but the main breaker in the CU is 100A. I'm not too hot on discrimination calcs (I'm and electrician but don't do installation work) but I'm guessing that...
