    Hello, DIY enthusiast, but no real skills! Our fan oven stopped heating so I thought I would replace the heater element. When I have taken it apart, it looks as if part of the wiring may have come off. There is a clip on the right hand side with no wire coming from it. Will this be the issue...

    UK MEM RCBO REPLACEMENT

    Hi everyone, can I install an EATON Rcbo in place of an MEM C32 MR30 Rcbo? I understand that Eaton have bought MEM, our merged. I know it's not good working practice and can invalidate insurance but I'm struggling to find an MEM C32 Rcbo and the client isn't going to replace the whole board.

    General electrical wiring replacement

    Hi I know it sounds very grand but it really isn't - and, especially not seeing as there has been, and still is, no travel due to Covid for so long now - but I have a house in rural Italy I bought and have been doing up for 6 years now. It's an old stone house and domestic electricity came after...
