Re: double pole MCBs in consumer unit
As long as you have a 30mA rcd up front you will be fine. A common double pole mcb would be an rcbo which is an mcb and rcd combined. Problem is they are slightly taller so a bit of a squeeze. Current regs state you cannot mix a match brands so you would still not comply. http://www.parkelect.co.uk/...

Re: Electricians question
As long as it is outside 600 from the edge of the bath/shower enclosure then you can have the spur inside the bathroom. If you have just fitted it though and all the circuits inc lights are not on a 30mA rcd then you need to install supplementary bonding. ( link all pipe work and electrical connecti...

Re: led bulbs
Plod and/or MOT tester, and its modified from 'stock' under insurance terms. His vehicle though. You lot crack me up. Most coppers don't know there a*** from there elbow when it comes to stuff like that and would surely not be that bothered. Insurance companies try to wriggle out of anything anyway...

Make sure it is 110% clean when you do it as even dust will show through.

Re: Devon roof help please
New gas struts will sort out the roof staying up problem. You could cut some fabric into small strips and glue them on to replace the duct tape. I would redrill the holes in the roof slightly bigger and use a bigger rivet. They are the weak point of the roof.

I marked my cushions as I was loading them up from my upholsterer and it was him that used white spirit in front of me. Says it is the best thing for it.

There will be a permanent live on the grey.

Some stats have a neutral and an anticipator that could be causing this if it i...

Re: Hook up - can i use a toastie maker?
An RCD will not make any difference to overload. It is the mcb that will protect from that.
