A Plea for help.

Hi, I am looking for a Dog****er to help me in my hour of need. I know I have a 3 cable and earth fitting on a light fitting. The only two wires connected are two yellow/green. The rest are loose. I am trying to fit a new ceiling light. Can YOU help?

Take the two loose wires and put them in your mouth while standing in a bucket of water. Problem solved!

As long as the wiring is done by Smiths....you would be safe anyway!

Without a better description or photo, any "Mates" type of advice regarding what you are confronted with when dealing with "wiggly amps" could be fatal!

Try this link and you may find the result your looking for from professionals!

I take it that by 3 cable you mean twin and earth, i.e one black, one red and a nil annotated straight copper wire? to what you are trying to fit.
