    Fault Finding Conundrum

    So the last couple of days we've been having random tripping RCD. Before getting an electrician in, I'm trying to establish at least a cause, to save both time and money. I've been trying to isolate appliances, but there doesn't appear to be anything specific causing it. Turn the vacuum on...

    Furnox TF1 or SpiroTrap MB3

    Beyond price, are there any great differences between the two?

    Shaver Socket Alternative

    So the wife has an electric tooth brush with a two pin charger and I have a rechargable razor with the same. Are there UK sockets which are not so... clumpy / hotelly? (not sure that's a word, lol) The only UK one's I've found are... Single gang but not exactly decorative...

    Meat...

    We were getting a bit peeved at the price of meat... then Lidl had some Moose (Elk) steaks in (lush, btw!) and it got me thinking... how much is it REALLY to eat exotic meat. Turns out Kangaroo steak is cheaper (and apparently healthier) than British beef steak.. as is a host of other...

    I hate asking the question, but here goes... it's about SIZE

    I've read the stickies, and had a ponder... but coming up with a blank. So far as sizing a combi boiler is concerned, "forget the rads, think of hot water demand" is messing with my noodle! I'm looking at changing a 30 year old traditional boiler (and sacking the chimp that feeds it!)...

    Chasing walls...

    We're getting somewhere towards organising the day of reckoning, but a question on practicalities... I was considering hiring a wall chaser (with dust extraction), but having never experienced using one and the amount of dust it "might" create, is this the best option and will it be best to...

    Recommended Suppliers...

    The scene... full rewire in a four bedroom house, including data and AV networks, along with "some" Home Automation (probably X10). The problem... I know what I want in terms of "hardware", i.e MK switches / sockets, etc. The question... what recommendations for supplying the "kit" for me...

    Fan Wiring and Dimmer Switches...

    OK, firstly, I've searched the posts and found no mention so far... so apologies if this question has already been asked. AS some of you know I move soon. Currently in the lounge (& dining room but this aint an issue) there is a ceiling fan light combo, which we're going to replace during...

    Electricity and Home Entertainment....

    I move into my new house next month and the first job is a full rewire... I'd like to throw a couple of questions to the forum for a bit of advice. 1. Whilst running the electricity cables, I also want to throw in a few cables for home automation/entertainment including CAT6 ethernet...
