Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a long time DIY'er. I've done basic electrical wiring, car stereo installation and various other hobbies. I've spent over 30 years fixing knitting machines.
Hi
I’m hoping to find some good advice from those experienced in the electrical industry.
I’m 23 and from Birmingham, I completed my level 2 and 3 C&G Diploma in Electrical Installation (2365).
Has anyone got any advice on what I could do to gain practical experience to help my CV? I do...
hi everyone,
Just wanted to say hello, currently not working in the electrical industry. Hoping to get booked in for some courses soon. From reading and common sense I know that it won’t mean I’m suddenly an over night spark. Nor will it beat on site experience. So my hope is to get the courses...
I've been housebound for three weeks. I actually miss work, am very bored and fed up. Therefore HELLO!
I've been a spark since Thomas Edison's time. I have the knack of forgetting electrical regs within a matter of minutes of learning them, so please go easy with me if I talk nonsense. I will...
Hi guys I know I've got countless thread running but this is a new one for me
So the report was no power to the door mag.
I found this little box that supplies it and got my tester out
The video below shows the reading and the pic shows how high my tester reads
I have to use the tester...
Hello! I'm quite new to this forum. Looking forward to enhance my knowledge regarding electrical repairs and much more. I hope I can help others as well while being in this forum.
Hope everyone is safe!
Hi, I joined because I'm building up to submitting a building regs application that covers some electrical work. Once ready, and before submitting, I was thinking to put it out for comment to see if any other DIYers have experience of the process or if there are any professionals willing to...
Just popping in to say hello briefly.
I'm thinking about a career change to be a spark, but not ready to ask any questions on that yet, meanwhile I'm off to the Solar forum to ask a question or two there. Thanks all.
Figured I would say hello to you all as my first post. I work for a lighting contractor and primarily do installations and some lighting system design work for our industrial and commercial customers. Thought it would be a good idea to join up here so I can engage in some active learning instead...
Hi. I'm new subscriber. Please see my VW Polo query in the Auto Electrical forum. It's a weird one I think; hopefully it rings a bell with somebody.

Hi, and thanks for having me here....
I am considering taking one of these domestic installer courses so thought I would join up to a site like this to look around to pick up help, ideas and be realistic in what I hope to achieve.
The reality is at 45 I don't expect to switch careers and become...
New to the forum, joined for a couple of reasons.
I'm not a pure sparky, I'm currently on a domestic renewable energy course. Half Electrical, half plumbing. Who said electricity and water shouldn't mix.
My name is Adrian, I'm 36 and doing the course half for a career change half for fun...
Just joined the forum and am saying hello.
I'm a DIY-er but have a background in electrical engineering (mostly non-domestic). So generally I'm either seeking a bit of advice or trying to satisfy my curiosity about some aspect of electricity on which my understanding is fuzzy.
Kind wishes - Pat
Hi all, I’m a trained telecom engineer, the old stuff with moving parts, relays and electromagnets! My interest now is domestic electrics. I’ve recently converted our garage into living accommodation and it’s been fun doing that. I had the job independently approved which was very satisfying as...
I do volunteer work for a charity: Besom. We get given electrical goods (& other
things) that must be PATted before we can give them to our recipients. Some
of these are giving weird results: I intend to ask advice.
Error! thread title must be > 20 chars! What a bore!
