    Car radio sometimes doesn't power on, not the usual fix though

    Hi, I drive a 1997 Nissan Terrano, 3.2L turbo diesel. I've put an aftermarket head unit in it (already had one but wanted to upgrade - I upgraded to a pioneer mixtrax) and found that sometimes when I turn my car on, the head unit doesn't turn on. When this happens it works fine when I turn the...

    Just installed a new 9.5kw shower, and sat the mcb on the bus barr, and there doesn't seem to be enough power to turn on the shower,

    Should I wire it straight to the live cable and not use the bussbarr

    My furnace doesn't turn off

    Greetings Problem in general: my (biomass) furnace needs the thermostat to be set to start up, but, once going, it doesn't shut off when the set temperature is reached or the thermostat turned down. NB: This was a tiny company, "Superior," and it is gone. Was about 4 people. Can't consult them...

    UK Adding RCD spur doesn't set but consumer RCD is fine

    Hi all, I have ran added a fused RCD spur off a socket to feed some electric gates. I figured as it was going outside I would put an RCD on the spur on it as I had one kicking around I believe it's probably unnecessary but when I connect it to the supply it will never set and constantly trips...

    Solar Panels Does the home consume solar produced electricity that doesn't reach the meters?

    I have been trying to reconcile our electric bill with the Enphase production and consumption reports. I don't believe we have any kind of battery. There seems to be much higher production/consumption numbers on the reports that my bill and meters can't account for. The installer says that my...

    My solar array doesn't seem to generate enough energy

    Hi, I've recently had a 4KW PV array fitted in March this year however I don't believe it's producing the expected results. Yesterday 29/06/2019 was the hottest day so far with cloudless skies and the system at noon peaked at 2.2KW. I would expect to achieve around my peak which is set at 3.8KW...

    Removing an electrical cable on customers property... that doesn't belong to the customer!

    Afternoon all, I have just been to do a quote for an elderly lady to remove a cable from under a stone driveway. Her neighbours jacked up her car and moved it off her driveway, then made a channel in her driveway, then laid their cable across her driveway to their garage. They gave her...

    "Posting a message to the forum will remove the above advertisement"... No it doesn't

    Adverts are not the problem. I totally understand using them as a revenue stream for the forum, however the big banner ad at the top of the screen is starting to get ridiculous. Yesterday, I was told by the advert that Match Of The Day presenter Gary Linekar had been arrested, no details, but...

    Bosch Oven doesn't want to play

    I took the fan motor off a working Bosch built in electric oven to replace it, and now the heating element does not switch on, though if I switch the mains cooker wall switch I can hear a relay click in the control panel, so there is power going to it. The only two contacts I touched were the...

    Zs-Ze = R1+R2 - doesn't it?!

    Hi all. The title is a slight red-herring to provoke a response.... Looking through previous threads here and elsewhere tells me that the formula in the title just isn't true - that you cannot just measure Zs at a socket outlet (live test) and subtract a measured Ze to get an R1+R2 value for...

    What routing techniques do CCTV installation professionals use that DIY doesn't generally?

    The more I think about doing a DIY CCTV installation, the more I'm coming to the conclusion that I'd be far better off getting it done professionally: they have years of experience, will consider routing cables impracticable by DIY enthusiasts, and will have the necessary expensive equipment to...
