    Any tech heads out there ??

    Easily the best bike I've owned although I have a thing for Yamahas. They always came up with the original thinking solution. The TDM, the Majesty and X-Max scooters. Even the XZ550 if you can go back that far.

    Neff oven 2 year and two months old,and out of John Lewis warranty,no help either.

    That's nothing! If the tool cases on the van are stacked upside-down, I have to re-stack 'em or get the bus home :)

    Neff oven 2 year and two months old,and out of John Lewis warranty,no help either.

    When the "mains" IE the RCD or MCB trip, does the oven run for a few minutes then trip? If so, I had a similar issue recently - also on a Neff although I'd imagine all ovens are similar. There is a temperature cut out inside the back of the oven. It detects any over heat and cut the power - or...

    Any tech heads out there ??

    Both brilliant machines! My 1999 VFR800 went in for a MOT this morning ready to be moved on for something lighter and more manoeuvrable and a TDM could just fit the bill.

    Looking for 2382-18 practice questions

    I'm amazed at the number of amusing and informative sparks sharing information on youtube. Nagy is entertaining, Artisan Electrics is informative and so many others. Andy Mac at Gosforth Handyman does a brilliant series called "Small Business Toolbox" Small Business Toolbox -...

    Thank you. Still struggling with this one. 60 to 65% in these tests. Not enough, yet, to be sure of a pass in the exam

    Dewalt 18v kits...........................................

    I mis-read that first time and thought "Erbauer 54v - how did I miss that!" Oh the disappointment :)

    Dewalt 18v kits...........................................

    When I started all my kit was DeWalt...old DeWalt; The DC9*** series that I had used solidly for decade and restored my first homes before it went on the van. It's all well past retirement and the NiCad batteries are a pain so... Much as I love the yeller'n'black I'm trying out a bit of...

    Looking for 2382-18 practice questions

    I may have to do something similar. The BBB is as dyslexia-friendly as a blown bulb in a dark room. The OSG isn't so bad but the rules appear to be "BBB only in the exam room". Even had another eye test in-case it was my eye sight.

    Looking for 2382-18 practice questions

    Seen some dubious Q&A combination on the ----------- webby. The @ symbol for Ohms and minimum IR answer of 1, 4, 0.5 and 5 Ohms The "1" is correct). An obvious typo' that missed the "M". Paying 20 quid for decent test question may even be worth it unless there anyone has found some better...

    General rant about the standards of driving these days!

    Incidentally, I had to renew my driving licence today and the donor default is still OPT-IN. Should have been default in and OPT OUT years ago.

    Put more eloquently than I did ;) Was there ever a time when unqualified chancers would not / could not undercut the skilled individual? By virtue of being in this forum, I'm willing to bet that the majority in here DO take pride their work.

    Electrician Jobs EIC issue................................

    Before anyone get riled at my comments, remember I'm incredibly grateful to this form and worked hard to be worthy of the help you guys freely offer. Valid points in all of the previous posts BUT in framing what the situation should be we are in danger of never having any workable solution...

    Old test equipment, from when Pete was a boy!

    ...and do wonders for the understanding of maths. I sat in college with lads of all ages who just could not get their head around Ohm's Law. Could not manipulate or re-arrange it after a year of using it. Fortunately, dad was a spark and they got well paid jobs for which I carry no bitterness...

    General rant about the standards of driving these days!

    LOOK MUM! See, I'm not wierd :) Incidentally, the remarks about bikes ring true. I've ridden for motor bikes for over 30 years but the VFR800 goes up for sale this summer. I just don't bounce the way I used to or tarmac is getting harder so we will part while I have happy memories and no bruises.

    As said earlier - philistine ;) Love these old test meters and similar calculators, slide rules et-cetra. I'm after one of these but prices are rapidly passing that of a new Megger A NICE CURTA I CALCULATOR IN A VERY GOOD CONDITION | eBay -...

    First Job estimate price check

    I'm far from the most experienced spark in here but here's something for comparison and one I gratefully lost today. 3 x 5m house extension in outer London. Requires sockets, down lights, Outside lights and sockets. TV co-ax connection and Part P certificate. Builder is somewhat disorganised so...

    First Job estimate price check

    Certainly looks low to me. Guessing you will have made an initial visit; all of which cost time, money, skill and diesel. The client will bw better informed even if they never book your services.
