That's up Arrochar way is it not? I used to get up that way a lot as a kid!

Pop a post in the forum asking if any of the Scots lads are available. I know there are a few on here.

Make the title something like "Electrician Needed G83 area" - you should get a reply.

more towards dumbarton area.

Sounds nice - even this time of the year - I'd rather be up there in the peace and quiet than down here on the South coast of England just now, I can tell you! Snow, or no.

Let us know what your sparks says - was he one from the forum or not, out of curiosity? Either way - let us know what he says, and we'll keep you right

 

[carolmcg]

all sorted now - thanks for your help and advice - keep up the good work!!

 

[DurhamSparky]

did he fix it for you???

We need closure!

 

[Kamikaze]

Yeah, come on! We need to know. You can’t keep us in suspenders like that.

 

[telectrix]

probably busy in the shower

been trawling the internet over xmas trying to see who can help and I found you. hope you can assist with my question.....my shower switch has melted the cabling and I replaced it with another 45a switch (main wall outside bathroom). The replacement has now also melted after 4 months. I have now purchased a 50a double gang socket and was wondering if I needed to change my circuit breaker - hager 32a at present. My cooker circuit breaker is 40a. The shower is 7.5kw. thanks


PS how do you post properly on this ?

Are you for real mate? Do you have a wife? Kids? LEAVE well alone and consult an electrician before you cause a damn fire.

Ken I would assume your MALE therefore Id assume Carol would be female but it is amazing the lengths some people go to to avoid paying an electrician coming out aand doing things correctly so in answer to your first question Id probably say YES for real but asking advice and seeking help (all be it at a late stake in the process ) and she has put a request in the "Looking for forum" BTW Guys carol has posted she got it all sorted

 

[carolmcg]

i was seeking advice so I would not be ripped off or appear really stupid before I found an electrician. Yes he fixed it and as I had the right parts he did not over charge. would use this forum again - yes I am female but can tackle basic diy - change plugs, rewire lights etc but not deal with hard core wiring!

What was the verdict then Carol, what did the electrician actually have to do?
