Hi,
I wonder if someone could give me some help and advice.
The lighting circuit in my flat keeps blowing, I hear a loud poping sound (location I have yet to determine) and the lights go out.
This has happened twice, first on Saturday, replaced the fuse and all was good. 4 Days later the same sound and the lights went again.
I'm guessing this is a short somewhere, however I've checked inside all the light sockets in the ceiling and the switches and given them all a good wiggle but I cannot get them to blow by doing this.
The wiring is quite old and the fuse box is the older style wire wound setup.
I find it slightly odd that there were 4 days between the two blow outs, I would have though it there was a short somewhere that this would happen again immediately after replacing the fuse?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance
James
