    Screwfix, never again. Thin conduit lids that bend before they are tight and let in water, and screws that’s gave badly rusted in 5 weeks. The lids have delaminated as well.

    Lengthening a vacuum power cable

    It’s worth mentioning that the end with the pins sticking out goes on the hoover end. If fitted to the plug end then it will leave exposed live pins when taken apart.
