Is there not a guide for beginners on home electrics. Somewhere that explains what to do when installing MCBs etc... bit like a haynes manual. I would like to see whats involved and judge whether I feel confident enough to give it a go. It would be good to learn new skills too.

probably... it has two switches one main black one and another grey one with red and green markers depending on the position of the switch. I will take pics when I get home tonight and get the info on the shower so you guys can get a better picture.
