  1. Might explain it, but very mild for the time of year here. I am still waiting for Octobers heavy snow.
  2. But its not even cold?

    No, the car is slipping. On good tarmac all is fine, its just when I hit a poor surface or paint. Not at home at the moment so cant tell you the tyres but I will find out and post shortly. Tyre pressures were as the manual but cant remember what they are, but I will check more regularly. Should be approx 35 psi.

    What mileage as the car done? Worn shockers may be? think Chesterfield had a faulty shocker on his GT4 iirc that caused a similar experience.
  7. At least we are singing from the same hymn sheet
  8. You have problems!! 63 amp breaker? 1. The current rating of 9.5kw will draw approx 41 amps so you need a MCB no bigger than 45 amps. Remember the breaker or fuse is there to protect the cable and not the appliance. A 63 amp breaker will not be protecting a 6mm cable! 2. 6mm cable as a maximum cable rating of approx 38 amps so really its undersize (just) for that current rating of shower been used. 3. For now you need to replace the switch its f@cked and you really need to ditch the 63 amp breaker and downsize it to a 45 amp max breaker. (this will at least give the 6mm cable better protection for now) 4. In the long term though you need to get the cable replaced and upgraded to 10mm, if you can do it now then great.
  9. That does not look like a fused spur to me, more like a double pole switch of approx 30-40 Amps. It looks like the connection was a little loose in the first place causing the cable to heat up. Re-make the cable off if you can and get a new switch. I assume this is located outside of the shower? Really it should be and certainly out of reach if standing in the shower! If it as a rating of 8.5kw 6mm cable will be fine above 9.5kw and above and then we end up moving into 10mm territory. Make sure that back-box gets earthed also.
  10. Have removed the mobile no.
  11. Corrected the title

  18. Or are you just trying to reset the mcb to the sockets? If thats the case and you have unplugged the hoover then you have problems elsewhere. And yes you may have damaged the mcb if you continually keep switching it on to a fault condition and if so you will need a electrician to sort. :edit: I would also unplug everything else thats plugged in to the sockets as well.
  19. Firstly in most cases the main ELCB (Earth leakage circuit breaker) will cut power to most circuits in your property unless on a split consumer unit. It should certainly cut power to the sockets. My advice when this happens is always to switch off all mcb (minature circuit breakers) that are fed via the elcb, this makes it easier to reset the elcb. When this is done switch back on all the mcb'c back on one at a time. Have you checked to see if all the mcb's are back on? Normally sockets are protected via a 32A mcb or fuse this may be tripped that inturn took out the elcb I am assuming your circuits are individually protected by mcb's and not fuses? How is the socket circuit protected? I am assuming all other circuits work ok after resetting the elcb? :edit: if the circuit breaker to the sockets is tripped then i would not use the hoover again and get it checked over by a qualified electrician.
  20. Seems that someone could not wait till midnight for the game http://technabob.com/blog/2011/11/07/mo ... -3-stolen/ They hit the truck with a car first and then actually used tear gas to neutralize the drivers and make off with the truck
