housemate giving you grief??

how are the wrists.?

JMW picked me up and threw me in the spa fully clothed lmao it was very funny

Fiance did but hes over it now he gets a little funny

wrist is gay made dion a potato salad last night and couldnt find my potato peeler so i had to use a knife

ok boys my air con was on in my house then it started spluttering then the house lights were flickering then the air con turned off.

For the past hour the lights have been going bright then dim and the kitchen light blew then the dryer started chirping then the lounge light blew and the washing machine started chirping

WTF

Disco lights lol. I can look at your air cond if you like since that's my trade. As for your lights flickering on and off, you might have had a power surge, might have been because of the air cond, can't really say without having a look. Maybe there is a sparky on the forum that could clarify this up?

poltergeists.

if its flickering and what not, id say you've got an overload. might be worth getting someone to check inside the main switchboard. aircon could be overloading the board (which sounds unusual if its only doing it now)

legally i cant poke around behind the switchboard but that sounds like where the problem might be

I have seen this before It soudns like the neutral supply to your house has a week connection. You need a good neutral for the return circuit to work. Eg power goes to your light switch then light then to neutral. So if the neutral is not a good bond it will make the lights dip and everything wont have its full voltage. Is it worse with more turned appliances turned on. The neutral can brake at the top of the stobie pole or in you meter box. Find out if any neighbours are having the same problem. Ive seen 2 house next door have the same problem because they both shared the same neutral. It could also be the pole top transformer just about to die putting out high volts (which blows globes). If you can get a multimeter put it on AC volts and put in power point you should have between 230-250v. You will need a sparkie to check if it is your problem or etsa's then you can go from there.

snap...........that would have been my next thought actually brad............did so many service replacements over in whyalla on standby down to old broken neutrals

I guess you would see this up the pole where I would of seen this in the back of the meter box. Sounds like we need a composite crew to go have a look.

ok update the hot water taps wont turn off in the laundry and i went to have a shower befor the water ran out and got zapped hardcore it made me scream and it hurt my hand my washing machine keeps on chirping and foxtel now wont work

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
