Try to get extension photos such that the wires connected to each terminal are clear. That allows much easier diagnosis by those that understand the wiring (not me!).

The b*cat likes to get his paws involved in a "good wiring" issue.

Whatever floats your boat!

Purrs.

Just think £16 for an IDC tool is a little expensive when the users only going to use it once...

I think this for 60p is ideal

Also if you don't need 100m, you can buy per metre on this site, just enter the quantity as how many metres you want

I like to keep costs down wherever possible as I'm a scrooge at times

Fair points. I did head the list "Example shopping list" and not "Best price shopping list".

Point taken

Cheers chaps.

I have bought a cheap tool for a couple of quid.

I have also bought a few three way gel crimps (£1.90 for 10 from ebay) and a 5m length of cable (£2.50) so I will see how that goes.

I really appreciate the time you all took to talk things through. When I get to sort the cables out next week I may post a picture of the botch job for giggles.

Thanks one and all.

Hi,
Bought gel crimps off eBay recently - only a couple of bob.
Cheers, Les.

As promised.

Pictures of the wiring.....

(urghhhhh!)

Pics

Rather you than me, with all that rockwool - nasty stuff. No problems with the crimps?
Cheers, Les.

Toujours la ka-ka !

That ain't rockwool, it's glass fibre.

As Captain Mainwaring might have said "I wondered how long it would take one of you to notice that". Does it really matter - or is it just the "I have to be right" syndrome rearing its head again? Sad.

If you want to peddle misinformation that's up to you. If I care to correct it, I will.
