    DIY - Apartment wrong 4-prong 220v wiring, how to fix myself?

    Hello all, I'm an amateur DIY home-owner that recently moved into an apartment for a 6-month military assignment and these maintenance workers here are clearly incompetent and just do the bare minimum at EVERYTHING, including electrical work. So I moved in here and my dryer had the 3-prong...

    Can I add a spur socket myself in Scotland?

    The socket already there is RCD protected and isn't a spur already. I have a socket tester so everything would be done properly then tested. Am I allowed to carry out this work myself? I can't find anything clear on doing this in Scotland, only England and Wales.

    Can I fix this myself?

    Hey, does anyone know if I can fix this myself? I’ve tried turning the white plastic screw but even with that removed the cable doesn’t move through the brass coloured lamp part.
