Which supplier do you use please?

So many variables here. However, I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying to fit their own kitchen so long as they're aware that it's a big undertaking and to be prepared for lots of hiccups along the way. There are lots of required skills, but if they have the time to work on it, it's a great...

100% the right approach. The cost of materials should always be factored in, even if you obtained the materials for free. The cost should represent the sum of all it's parts.

That's interesting, I've never heard of this issue. Do you know the problem it causes and how big if an issue it is?

I've used fused spurs for lighting in the past, but I meant in my instance the lights in question are on a separate circuit to the sockets.

If I find out I'll update. It's a big if with my limited electrical skills though 😂

Sounds highly unlikely in my view. The sockets are on a different circuit to the lighting so the surge shouldn't (I think) cause an issue.

The glass is clean, I've switched the up and down lamps around to check if it was the lamp or the fixture causing the issue and it is the lamp itself

I had a similar thought to you, but there is no evidence or sign of water ingress. There are 3 different brands of fitting as well as 3 different brands of lamps which is why I found it odd that they all had this issue. The fittings all seem well designed, the female thread on the up light is at...

Hi guys, I've got quite a few up and down lights outside of my house. 4 on the front of my garage, 1 on PIR and 1 on a switch at the front of my house, and added 6 to the new extension. Something I've recently noticed with them. the top lights are no longer functioning as they should. They've...

It's the convenience, you pop to your local hardware store but they don't stock what you need. You ask for an order, and it's either met with "ooooooh it'll cost you", or "it could take a few weeks". There was a small local place to me, 10 minutes walk, who I would visit first for all my...

I may be wrong, but aren't the batteries in hybrid cars charged when using the ICE?

I've been a victim of amazon's convenience lure, but I rarely use it anymore for the same reason. They're like Walmart, and what it did across the states. Be cheaper, ruin local business, once the competition was gone, hike prices in a market were the competition is now non existent. It's highly...

These really are tough times. I've had good experiences with FFX on a few occasions. Although I've never had the need to test their customer service so can't comment on that aspect. So many struggling business' right now, I just hope enough of the good companies can navigate the storm and come...

It would be nice if some unions were more present in the courier world. However, they majority are self employed contractors (hardly real self employed work, but that's a topic for another day), so it's not particularly feasible.

I'm of a different opinion, having dabbled in a little courier work recently it's not as clear as you believe. Trying to carry out a paid by parcel job with any degree of meeting (let alone exceeding) minimum wage, is nigh on impossible without some exceedingly efficient delivery methods...

I ran my comparison with an MG4 as well, it was my preferable car as it felt a lot better during the test drive vs the Enyaq, it was just a little too small internally for my general use (but not a delay breaker) The insurance was still a lot more, I've 9 years NCD and quote for 10k miles. I...

I love the idea of an EV, the issues preventing me going that way include the fact the electric equivalent is still more expensive than their comparative ICE. Insurance costs based on my own comparisons is double that of the ICE cars, some cases more. For example, 840 per annum vs 360. This was...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter how deluded others may think they are. Politics really does have the power to divide even the closest friendships and even family. I guess that's one of their prime directives, distract us by getting us minions squabbling amongst ourselves whilst...

Agree with Rhossydd, adding in ram often causes stability issues or slower speed overall versus leaving in the original set. Sell on your current set and add in 2x 8gb matched pair. That will have a huge boost. First, check your motherboard specs to see what's supported, although official...
