Cut the insulation back and look at the actual conductor size, you'll shit yourself once basic electrics are explained to you  ;)

It's probably on its limit, but the actual cable/conductor size would likely be OK .... if the plug terminals had been tightened up properly.

I can do multi-skilled electrics.  ;)

Anyone can connect a bit of wire Andy, doing the math before you start is the bit that requires thought  ;)

Not at all, just letting you know that there is more to Franklin's baby than what most people realise....hence the reason for some of the "seemingly" daft regulations in place these days.

It's the bad examples (caused by the DIY'r, relative/neighbour that knows all about that stuff, eastern european who will do the job for £500 less than me, etc) that lines my pocket quite nicely  :y

Just a shame that the new laws coming in will drop my earning potential  :'(

Hi KW, do you have any info/links on the new laws please. I am not an spark but work with 2 of them who take great delight in constantly telling me I can't have that because of regulation X.

Thanks
