He got an electrician out who crimped the broken wire in the wall . however, we are keeping on experiencing intermittent...

    Worried about intermittent bathroom lights flickering

    Hi everyone, My parents have some 240v GU10 down lights installed in the bathroom which all independently suffer from intermittent flickering. They're all LED's but the same behavior can be observed when swapped out with halogens which leads me to believe there is probably a loose connection...

    Monthly intermittent fault

    I've been having this recurring problem where the RCD will trip (the MCBs don't move) causing power failure on everything in house. I can get everything (apart from sockets) to come back on immediately only if the MCB that controls the sockets is flicked down before I flick the RCD switch back...

    Another Intermittent Fault

    I was asked to look at an intermittent fault in a rental property yesterday: Apparently over the last month or so, the tenants have several times heard a loud bang, that they think may be coming from the kitchen area of the house (but they are not sure, being elsewhere in the building each...

    Intermittent Vs Continuous Bathroom Extract Fan?

    Hey guys! I've been looking at a Vent Axia silent extract fan for a bathroom with shower. The fan continuously runs and boosts when the light is switched on or via humidistat. I was looking at the spec and the extraction rate is only 15 l/s which is the bare minimum for a small...

    2003 Ford Focus: intermittent speedometer connection?

    I've taken my Ford Focus 2003 to a number of garages, but none came to any conclusions about this. Few of them actually even managed to replicate the problem. While driving, about a quarter of the time, the speedo shows zero even while moving. This also stops the distance counter from clocking...

    Audi battery intermittent drain

    Audi A6 – 2007 Since I bought the car 2.5 years ago at a main Audi dealership it’s had an intermittent battery drain which I’ve tried all sorts to trace. It’s getting steadily worse and none of the ‘standard’ techniques have traced it yet, mostly due to the intermittency of the fault. The...

    Intermittent faults...

    Intermittent faults are the spawn of the devil. Their mission on earth is to torment electricians and confuse apprentices. Just wanted to make that clear.

    Intermittent RCD tripping.

    I have been asked to investigate a tripping RCD for a family member. I haven't been out to view yet and have asked very few questions but the scenario sounds like an RCD as a main switch. The homeowner opens all MCB's and then closes one by one until the RCD trips, finding that the 'lights in...
