    24v Garden fence lights - series or parallel??

    Rubbish. GU10 is a type of base GU10 lamps are usually 240v, but can be 120v, 12v or 24v. MR16 is the size of the lamps multifaceted reflector. (16/8"). LEDs don't usually have a multifaceted reflector.

    DIY Very Big Bang

    The supply company will need to replace the seals on the meter. As it is a rented flat was he even allowed to drill holes in the wall anywhere? I guess the landlord is not going to be happy.

    Ripped off by cowboy

    An isolator may 'nice to have', but it is not a requirement in the regs as you can isolate at the CU.

    In that case you need a plumber. Kitchen sinks should not leak.

    Gas & Electric Meter - Same Cupboard?

    None. There is no requirement for a cooker isolator apart from the MCB in the CU. They are often fitted as "nice to have".

    13amp plug for 3000w induction hob

    Singapore uses the same systems as the UK. That 15 amp round pin socket was way overloaded at 7200 watts (perhaps you never used all the induction hob at once) but doesn't seem to have come to any harm. So re use it for the new hob. These are clearly 2 phase induction hobs wired for single...

    Need some advice. - 12V to 240V

    It is nothing to do with the compressors capacitor. It is the starting current of the motor in the compressor that is causing the trip. A stationary motor has a big inrush current at start up. So a bank of capacitors won't help. Possibly a series resistor to limit the start current may help...

    Am I allowed to fit a Nest thermostat myself?

    There is no such rule. Manufacturers instructions are guidance only and should be taken account of.

    Attach 1 double socket to CU

    If the new socket is near the CU. Remove one of the legs of the ring from the CU MCB and put it in your new socket. Run a short length of 2.5 T & E from you new socket back to the CU MCB. Thus the new socket becomes part of the ring.

    Need a different mcb

    I hope you asked for the fitting fee back. That board looks like a Wickes one. Don't know if they still do that model. By the way manufacturers instructions are guidance only and don't have to be followed if they are wrong. It appears they are wrong in this case.

    No. Manufacturers instructions are guidance only and don't have to be followed, especially if they are wrong (which is not uncommon).
