Well at the moment, i cant scan anything on 23.5E or 28.2E, only 26E so it must be pretty well pointing to 26E.

But until rolfs here with the meter I really cannot say.

Sitting by the door waiting for postie now lol

garryg don't forget to add up the total cost of this installation and let us know what the final total is.Obviously your labour costs are a direct charge to yourself and in this case the cost will be a labour of love.Priceless.For everything else it was Mastercard(or the equivalent).

ps.Do you work for a living and on annual leave at the moment??
