Re: hot water no heating vokera linea 24

most internal walls made of block and dont contain rods , the wires for lighting SHOULD run down the wall vertically but as you have said getting s tud detector is a great and very safe idea , who knows how some one could have bodged the wiring ?? so do that and you should be ok

you dont need a 50mm pug , you drill the hole to the depth required then insert the plug , and with the screw inserted gently tap it all the way in , the plug should always be in the brick and not the plaster or thermal borard

this may well be the problem as your back wall maybe south facing
scrape the cracks out and fill , some kind of sealer on the render is good also

get yourself a non contact tester , safety first , im thinking it sounds like you have two fuses for every cct , this sounds like you have fused neutrals which suggests this is in urgent need of a rewire !
