Hi,
One of the plastic parts in my hoist control broke so I bought a new one but they are very different so a simple question, can I use the black one in the photo to replace the yellow one? My initial assumption is no as the original has a capacitor which the new one does not.

I was gonna put the socket behind the fire which will be fed by a 13A fused spur but I’m having second thoughts about putting a socket behind there due to heat..

Hi
I'm just starting to fit EV chargers as part of our solar installs. Just looking at the tester options I currently have a Megger 1711 but this isn't suitable due to no DC RCD test.
Does everyone end up buying a new MFT or am I missing something?
cheers

Hi My Triton electric shower which is around 7 years old is gushing water from the bottom of the unit, should I call an electrician or a plumber and should I purchase a new unit before they arrive or are these things sometimes fixable? Apologies if this is a really dumb question, thank you in...
