Are you a trained 'Leccy Chief or you just giving it a go? I'm always very wary around voltage...
turn Leky off
that should unscrew or just pull it off...but not like a ****...gently...should loosen up
Seperate from wires
stick new one on
turn leky on
Yeah I turned lekky off to get the outer casing off.
It doesn't seem to screw though or feel like it will pull off? Might be where it's missing one side so can't get a decent grip.
I'm always paranoid as **** with electrics though ever since I wired up my PAYG meter when I was 17 and nearly blew my face off.
Yeah well leky is off so you’re ok dikhed
if it doesn’t screw...I...not everyone...but me...I would wedge the tip of a screwdriver between the ceiling and the plastic case and gently up n down...in my experience...that is also a workable solution
It’s held on by another part which is screwed onto ceiling...so that you can screw the outer casing on.
Just pull the whole thing off and replace...looks ****e...won’t cost too much tbh(I think)
Turn electric off.
Go to 6:00 and watch the guy with the glasses unscrewing one in his hand...

It’s like being back on site, I find ‘useless ****wit’ to be the most motivational of phrases you can use on a site.

It was paint holding it on so I took Slurps advice of just breaking the whole thing so off to buy a new one now.

Hopefully you can leave the base plate on, and just wire in and then screw on your new one.

Just ban him just to be safe. Don’t want the Feds snooping through your unqualified advice.
RIP Rodders.
No, am I ****!
Complete amateur, just been trying wire up this absolute cluster ****. Failed in the end, too much wire in too little space.
I've not achieved much in the end, will end up reverting to an extension cable under the bed to ny side.
Which I said I'd do in the first place, but she said it would be neater with an additional socket instead! I should just listen to myself and ignore her, always.
