What is the case in if you carry out an EICR and you cannot get to the connections of gas/water bonding to get a reading?
The gas meter is outside but I see no bond to it. I cannot find the water stop cock. There are a few GY cables at the MET and I guess I could disconnect the cables and long...
Does anyone know why water is leaking on that connection. Vaillant ecomax 824/2 E, It's heater exchanging connection, the one which is secured by the clamp (there is no rubber seal? -how does this even works ??)
I haven't installed it, don't worry.
I bougt this ceiling light that came with a metal housing and no ceiling rose. The only thing in there was this plastic junction box for the L/N wires.
Means I'll have to use some Wago connectors to make up for the ceiling rose. But what about ground?
I have a question about wiring pump overrun on a Vaillant ecofit pure boiler (not a combi).
I had my old boiler replaced in 2019 and there was no provision for wiring the existing pump from the boiler in the existing wiring, and the fitter said it was OK to leave it so the pump switched on and...

I want a wall charger installed but there is no space on the CU. Attached are photos of the CU, Fuse, etc cupboard and panned out view of the cupboards. I have solar panels so would also want solar integrated into the solution. All cables go up into the roof space (bungalow). Thanks for your help.
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project where I need to connect two copper AC cables. Instead of running a very long cable, I'm using two shorter cables that I already have on hand. I'm planning to connect them inside a junction box using a terminal block ) for continuity.
The cables are...
AC arc welder transformer.
I tested the transformer as follows:
-All wires are separated from the switch and from each other
-There are 9 red wires, 6 gray and 2 thick uninsulated copper leads to which the main cables for the electrode holder and ground are connected.
-No wire has contact with...
Hello,

Hi,
I have a coaxial wall plate that is hanging off the wall and needs replacing. How do I wire the old plate which has an IN and OUT for the two cables to the new plate with only one connection?
Thank you
I have had my kitchen rewired ready for a new kitchen. I was originally going to have a gas cooker so a 3 pin 13a socket was left on the end of the 6mm t+e cable. I have changed my mind and now am going to have a freestanding electric cooker. To check if i now have sufficient cable, i have...

I have a Epever Bluetooth Adapter connected to my solar controller. It powers up but refuses to connect to my Iphone 12 giving no indication of an attempted bind. Any suggestions on why not ?
Morning guys,
Just been to look at a CU change and there was a bit of an oddity with the PME connection in the old black cut out.
Looking at the history, it used to have a earth rod but at some point the DNO upgraded the network but didnt provide an earth connection, but someone has connected...
Hi guys,
I have recently encountered that my circuit breaker for the upstairs lights keeps tripping. I flick it back on and immediately it trips off again. I think the issue is coming from the bathroom light. So I have had a look at the ceiling rose and the picture shows what is going on. Note...
Good afternoon chaps,
I have an Alpha E-Tec 33 combi boiler (with Google Nest 3rd Gen thermostat) that occasionally fails to put out hot water. The C.H. works fine (at least I haven't noticed any issues), but in the past 6-9 months or so, when using the thermostatic shower, there's sometimes...
Hi all. I'm trying to put a light-bar on my (facelifted) Land Rover Freelander 2. I'm wanting to wire it so the light-bar will be energised when I switch from dipped to full beam (I also want to be able to turn it off altogether to avoid dazzling others, when they're about - but that's an easy...
