    Retro style pendant lights and 3 plate wiring

    All I can say is, where theres a will theres a bodge, with all our years of EXPERIENCE we should be able to come up with something the customer won,t notice or even say "Oooh that's nice".

    Portable equipment.

    Probabably not a good idea, if it go's phutt in use what does your insurance cover. I've recently been in hospital and they have electric food trollies, worth looking at but might be expensive.

    Use of Mains designed Outdoor Post Light for 12v bulb

    I can't see any reason why not, but if I was doing it I would dis all the 240v stuff (lamp holder and lamp) and work around/with an existing 12v transformed system. With a bit of thought it shouldn't be too difficult.

    Employment advice

    Usually if you are paid weekly it's 1 week and if you are paid monthly it's 1 month. And if you haven't been paid just walk out.

    Wish me luck

    Been there done that. It is worth listening to, and yes the course has slowed me down but not for the reasons you may think. The bit that has stuck with me is, if you exceed the national limit by 10mph or more your fuel consumption can increase by 25%. At 25 to 27 mpg that is a big ouch. As I...

    Problem with new garage sub panel

    Re: Proble with new garage sub panel The first thing you should do is safely isolate (switch off) this distribution panel. Second is put some appropriate coloured sleeving on the earth wires ( the bare copper coloured ones). The panel at the moment looks lethal. The ground strip as you call it...

    Make my car wake me up if the door is open

    Buy a Rottweiler, it sleeps in the car and warns you of any break in. Plus it keeps hold of said suspect till you arrive. Then all you have to do when you get there is say "Eat". Lol.

    2000 VW Beetle electrical issue..

    This may be an odd question, but have you got cruise control fitted and operated from the steering wheel. If so consider the rotary coupler. Yet again had this with a Range Rover. And remember most faults cascade. Faults on Address 01 seem to fit.

    2000 VW Beetle electrical issue..

    I had an almost identical problem on a Discovery 3. It turned out to be a chaffed wire to the front nearside wheel speed sensor. It caused a cascade effect and I got a list of faults as long as your arm. Landrover wanted nearly £2000 to put it right. £25 for the part and a few scuffed knuckles...
