    Broken switch on night storage heater - fixable?!

    Well, firstly I ought to say that I think it's a broken switch! I've checked that power is getting to the switch, but when you turn the dial and it 'clicks' there is still no power output in the returning line down to the elements. I can't see what else it could be? Open to offers though...

    RCBOs with 1 flying wire.

    Do RCBOs normally have 2 flying leads - neutral and earth? Are there "old" rcbos and new types. The reason I ask is that I have bought Proteus RCBOs and they have a flying neutral wire only. I've never fitted RCBOs before and am just a bit confused. Any explanations appreciated. Bul
