    RCD tripping times exam question

    I sat the 2394 written exam tonight and one of the questions was about testing a 30mA RCD. It asked which tests you would carry out and the permitted tripping times. I answered that at 30mA and 150mA it was equal to or less than 300ms and 40ms respectively. Which I believe to be within those...

    Nico Rosbourg has retired....

    Must admit I didn't see that coming and I bet that every driver on the grid is desperately seeking the seat and a way out of their existing contract! Button for Mercedes for 1 year? Alonso for Mercedes? Vettel for Mercedes? and I thought that the F1 musical chairs had finished for this year...

    Removing a picture from a post

    Hi People, Is there a way of removing a picture from a post once you have posted it? I did a post recently where I accidently added the pic twice. I tried to edit the post and remove the attachment but it didn't do the change. What am I doing wrong or it is not possible?

    Ford Radio codes

    Hi, does anyone of you fine peeps have a copy of the Ford codes? I've got the infamous V coded radio and having changed the battery now have no tunes..... Annoyingly, the code was missing when I got the van so I feel slightly grieved at the thought of giving Ford money for something I already own!!
