    Failed Rolec charge point

    Simple question: Is the charge controller in a Rolec tethered charger different from that in an otherwise identical non tethered one? The non tethered charger (EVWP2020) serving my holiday cottages failed last week, with the blue light flashing faster, accompanied by a ticking sound, when a...

    Failed Neff/Bosch cooker hob ignition switch unit

    The photo shows a cooker hob ignition switch unit from a Neff/Bosch hob. One of the switches has failed. The issue was caused I think by ingress of liquid. I have dried the unit as well as I can. A replacement unit costs over £40. Has anyone ever opened one of these to repair it? I am reluctant...

    Failed EICR Query

    Hello all, hoping for a little advice from you kind people :-) My friend has been told to change consumer unit by the people who did the EICR, at a cost of £600, which i think sounds excessive.

    Failed EICR - for a relatively newly re-wired house

    Hi All, Hope someone can help with a sanity check. In mid 2014 we had our house fully re-wired and it received an EIC at that moment in time. As our property has just been rented out, it has had an EICR conducted and the C2 failings were 'IP RATING OF CONSUMER UNIT COMPROMISED' and 'NO RING...

    C&G 2910-01 can it be failed?

    Just done this and to be honest I'm underwhelmed. Exam is a 60% pass mark, open book, multiple choice. 40 questions, you get an hour. It cannot be possible to fail this surely? I Know you can fail the practice but in reality that's only going to be through failure to safely isolate. Anyway...
