    UK Running power to garden room

    Hi all. I'm thinking about adding a garden office and will obviously need power. Can power be taken from a normal plug socket somewhere at the rear of the house, or does it need its own circuit from the main consumer unit? If it needs it's own circuit it's a non starter project as I don;t want...

    1992 Pontiac Firebird won't crank, no power to starter enable relay, no security light, temperature gauge fluttering

    My 92' Firebird that I just acquired will not start. I bypassed VATS security with resistors so the security light now shuts off. I replaced my positive battery lead that was shot and the only thing that happens when I turn the key is the temp gauge fluttering. The relay only has 0.5 constant...

    How to reduce power to a heating device.

    OK, this is a weird one! I have a grid tied PV system which exports spare power to the grid. The maximum it will export is around 2.5kW Now I want to use around 1.5kW, but I want to use it to heat a 3kW element. So it will be a slow long heating rather than the full 3kW the element normally...

    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.

At some point in the next year or two the garage will...

    Morning all. I have just been to a house where there is no power to the 13A FCU feeding the immersion. I believe I have found the corresponding MCB in the CU although it is difficult to be sure as there is only continuity on the CPC, it is labelled water heater. There is no continuity from...
