Evening All,
I am looking to pass the Regs course 2382-12 as quickly as possible. Having looked at the course avalability and price in my area I am thinking of simply going to sit the exam without the four day course.
I came through my aprenticeship in the 17th edition and have been working in...
I've just received my JIB card. It arrived in just over a week, which was a lot quicker than I was expecting. I've been graded as an electrical labourer/ ancillary operative. This means, I think,that because of lack of education and experience, I can't be trusted to do almost anything without...
Five days without solar but guess I haven’t missed too much yet, thanks to the grotty weather.
I’ve had my solar installation since June 2011, SMA SB4000TL inverter and 16 sanyo HIT panels, total 3.67 kWp. We have been really pleased with the installation and the installer, recommending them...

Hi all

I did the head gasket on my disco at the week-end after it was all done I tried to start it without the PAS waterpump and alternator belt on, turned over but no start, fuel to injectors ok, so I put the battery on charge and fitted the belt, hoses etc, tried again and started right way, someone...
Hi all,
Would anyone know how I can test the emergency light inverter in a fitting as the batteries in the fittings are not charging. The fittings are about 5yrs old, but as per usual, the installer never put the installation date on the battery pack.
I'm not too sure if my thinking of...
If doing an EICR and you find an immersion heater stat with no over heat trip do you code it? Another spark I know makes it a code 2 - unsatisfactory. Thoughts please

Been checking out online for a replacement, the basic ones (like I had before) all seem pretty similar regardless of the brand. About £30 for Fluke, Martindale, DiLog etc.

Hi all.
