I'm thinking of installing a water flow sensor on the shower to control an extractor fan in the bathroom. I've attempted to draw a diagram of the wiring and I was wondering if anyone would mind having a quick look over it (and probably point out all of the mistakes I've made!).
I feel a bit...

One of the bulbs in my Neff Cooker Hood has blown. As far as I know it is 20w. What I need to know is whether it would be 12v or 240v. The only ones I can find are 12v. I tried one but it only lasted a few weeks.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I've got a cooker hood extractor, it only has a live and neutral cable, I've only got a single socket to install it. Can I put a 13A plug on the end of it?
Our toilet extractor has, or so I thought, been failing (delayed startup, bit intermittent) for some time, and yesterday it finally stopped working. Vent-Axia Silhouette 100T.
It's going to be a bit of a pain to replace, so I though I would check the connections first just in case. Imagine my...

Our extractor fan was making a very loud noise when it is on. Stopped this by putting more pressure on it with duct tape but means it is stopping the fan from moving. Is there any problems with blocking the extractor fan from moving? Will it short circuit or anything?

Hi,

It is a timed extractor fan with 3 points which I imagine means I just need to match the correct cables to the new fan.
I don't understand what the meaning of each point is on the old fan to...

1) I currently leave the light on the let the fans run to bring humidity down, I'd rather it did this automatically

Hello,
We moved into a new property 5 months ago and there is an extractor fan in the bathroom that has never worked. This weekend I decided to have a crack at fixing or replacing it. I'm new to DIY so bear with me here!
Firstly, there is no isolator switch for this fan as far as I can tell...
My client wants a wall fitted extractor fan for their bathroom. Normally i fit the isolator outside above the door but the client is against this. Is there any reason why it can not go above the fan at high level so zone 3.
