Thank-you stoneboy. I did not have any Vaseline so I used copper slip. Regards.
I am moving into a home this week and it has an electrically operated garage door. The old lady that lived there previously passed away and the estate agent only has 1 fob that operates the door. Am I able to buy a spare fob? Can I reset the old fob in case a family member has one and can open my Ga...
Thanks guys, the new light is installed and working now with an added earth wire from ceiling rose to new fitting and new blue wire from neutral and new brown wire from live to light fitting.
Thanks for the replies. kbrownie, the 2 wires from the ceiling rose to the old light fitting were both brown.

I ...
