Hi all.
Im will be having a home office completed in January and need advice on what to buy.
First let me say that I hate electricity, so there is absolutely no way i will be touching this myself. I have been ripped off in the past by builders so I want to be in control of materials that are...
Hi all,
I am new to the forum.
I am currently looking to buy my first multifunctional tester, I have looked at many from seaward to fluke but I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations?
Also, has anyone ever purchased a second hand one? Is there anything to look out for when buying...
Good afternoon,

I am hoping to buy an antique (1929) plafonnier or hanging light fixture.
It has not been rewired since it was first made and, despite living in France for over 40 years, I don't have the faintest idea where I could get it rewired and the equivalent of PAT tested.
Can anyone advise me please?
Test the rolls of cable before they use them?
It all started a good few years ago now when I ran some lighting cable and the electrician came in to connect it up on the first house I had purchased in 1986.
The cable had a short in it and I then spent the next few hours having to run it all...

I'm coming towards the end of my level 3 training and in the market for my first MFT.. There's a ton of different brands and each brand has various products so it's all a bit confusing. Can anybody recommend a good "first" tester?
Also is it worth buying second hand? Since money is a bit tight...
Hi,
I am looking at getting myself a new van on a hire purchase agreement, payments will be £230 a month for 4 years.
Will i be able to claim this back off the tax each year? So 230 x 12 per year?
or can i only claim back the initial cost in this tax year?
Thanks
Hello,
I'm putting a PA system in a pub and the mains trips easily so I need to use the blue 16a wall socket. Last time I bought a 13a socket-to-16a plug but it was slightly too small and didn't fit - the end of the plug is 41 mm in diameter, and the socket diameter of the inner ring where the...
Hi guys,
I'm starting to do a bit of DIY in our house - initially just replacing light fittings but am keen to do more and am looking for tools to check that the area I want to work on is safe.
As this is just for DIY I don't want to spend a fortune but want stuff that's safe and good enough...
Hello,
I bought a motor for the skateboard and a ESC to control the speed , so i found this (80A) and bought it .
someone told me that the motor and the ESC do not fit together and it won't work for me , is it correct ? and if so what cheap ESC do you recommend?
thank you :)
what tester do people generally use/recommend? should i avoid second hand generally? seen some decent ones but wondering is it worth risk? the tester would be for domestic use.
Hi all,
I was wondering if anybody knows how much a copy of the IET Wiring Regulations Amendment 3 or 18th edition should cost?
It looks like the RRP for 18th edition, paperback, is £95! Found a copy delivered for £81 on Amazon.
Is this really the case for an essential publication? Or should...
It looks suspiciously like I am buying a house soon. It has a 2kw PV array and sunny boy inverter install about four years ago. I know little about PV from an installation viewpoint and even less as a potential end user. Anyone know any crash courses for dummies in PV? For instance the vendor...
I just purchased a towel radiator for my newly renovated bathroom last week, and I’m now interested in buying a towel rail element with thermostat from this online seller. But before I decide to avail anything, I want to ensure first that I’m buying from a good seller. Is there anyone here who...
Morning..
I'm happyish with my Metrel MI3000, but the loop test is playing up which means having to use the non trip function at times even when there's no RCD which apart from being time consuming is also not as accurate. Quoted price to fix £375!!!!! Ridiculous!
So.. I was reading through PE...
