    Do I really need the yellow book for the 17th edition exam? I've been in touch with Guildford college, and they say I can sit the exam ONLY for £100. Which is great news. Only I don't fancy forking out £70 for the yellow book (chances are I'll never use it again!) I know it is theoretically...

    Code 1 Really!!!!

    Completed an EICR last week on a flat that is roughly 20 years old, wired to the 16th. It had been tested last in 2007 and had been given a code 1 for no supplementary bonding in the bathroom. Slightly harsh to say the least but after investigation I found that all the pipes were plastic...
