We have a Landis gyr E110 generation meter for our solar panels. The reading has not changed since a long time. The red LED light on the right is a constant red ( and not blinking red). What could be the problem here? The installer says a call out charge to inspect it would be £120 and a new...

Hiya,
I've just fitted a kitchen light fitting and went from a ceiling rose with many connections to something with just a live, neutral and earth.

At the light I have 2 grey cables: 1 with a red core and a earth, the other with just 1 black core.

Hi all -
Let me preface this by saying I'm definitely not an electrician - I've rewired some lamps/appliances, changed fuses, and have done a couple of down-light transformers, but that's about the extend of my experience.
One of my 9 kitchen down-lights (halogen) has been intermittently...
Hello.
Any ideas as to why the following timer doesn't work - the dial doesn't turn at all. There is an electricity supply going into the box because the last switch is for the boiler which works. The first switch is labelled 'General'; the next switch and the timer are labelled 'Outdoor...
