The shower drop switch needed replacing last year, 2 years after the original was fitted. I got an electrician to change it. This morning the new shower drop switch has stopped working again. I thought this time I would swap it myself. Before I started I noticed the red/live is showing some...

I will be away for a while over the next couple of weeks and wanted to turn off the water just in case we get a late cold snap. But I wanted to leave the CH to come on only if it gets very cold...turning off water at the mains doesn't affect a combi's operation does it?

Whilst insulating the loft I have found a cable with nothing attached just cut and stuffed under the old insulation. I have traced the other end but can't find out what it attached to because it goes down into the wall. Near it are two other cables which go down the wall to a wall socket I...
