You can, but you'll need to either reconnect that extension wiring or leave it until you need the extension again. Make a note of the colours of the wires and which connection they go to (the connections are numbered) before you pull the existing faceplate off the wires.The cable goes outside the house from what I can remember.
Anyway, will ask him to look at it, but is it worth me buying an ADSL socket as there's no extra wiring or anything involved? Don't want to complicate things
The wiring that is connected at one end to those punchdown connectors inside your faceplate (ie everything on the back of the faceplate that isn't the little plug that goes into the "test socket") and at the other to the phone socket in your room.
Reconnect the extension wiring? I'm a bit lost as to what's the extension wiring. Pretend you're dealing with a 5-year-old
The wiring that is connected at one end to those punchdown connectors inside your faceplate (ie everything on the back of the faceplate that isn't the little plug that goes into the "test socket") and at the other to the phone socket in your room.
What I am saying is that you will need to pull those wires off the front plate (and tuck them inside the NTE5 when you replace it with the ADSL splitter front plate. Then, at some later stage, if you want to reconnect the phone socket in your bedroom, you will need to wire them to the corresponding sockets on the back of your spiffy new ADSL splitter front plate. OK?
The cable should extent to the box on the wall,so you'll probably just need a metre of cable.I can't see if there is a cable in the trunking where there's a break in it but I'd assume there is one.
You gots it. Wrap the dangly wires up loosely so they don't randomly connect to something they shouldn't behind the box, but apart from that, there you go.
ie, hopefully, when you take the front off the box on the wall after switching off the power to that circuit, you will find a termination block inside the box - you shouldn't have to feed your cable through all the trunking.
). I've bought that box that I linked to on Amazon as I didn't like the reviews for the BT ones. Hope it's the right faceplate. Thanks for help existentialist
Doesn't work though and looks like this (different wiring to main socket)
Those instructions will be for installation on a 3-phase supply, I imagine. It's important, in 3-phase sites, to ensure that you are keeping the phases reasonably in balance (I think you get surcharged on your electricity bill if you don't), and a cooker being quite a high-load device, it makes sense to design it to be capable of being operated across more than one phase.Blimey. I never knew there were domestic cookers with a 400 volt option.
Is it a massive professional catering range ?
The only place you'll have that "test socket" is on the network termination equipment box - remote extension sockets are completely plain and unadorned.and I managed to get little latch in telephone extension socket open (and yes it was painted shut!). I thought there'd be a test socket, but I suppose as an extension, it doesn't have one.

Interesting that the wiring is different on the socket - that's not what I would have expected. However, regardless of that, without anything plugged into it, the only reason that a fault could be showing at the exchange is if there is a fault somewhere in the wiring. Someone with a continuity tester could check for a wire-to-wire short somewhere. And, given that you have 4 wires there and only actually need 3, you would then be able to swap them around to leave out the shorted connection (almost certainly between the wires on pins 2 and 5 on that extension socket) and have a working extension. But that might be to overcomplicate things at this stage...
And buying a cable that is too big isn't dangerous. Just a cunt to get into the terminals.
glad to hear it. I've just got to the post where Minnie clarifies that she wasn't planning to do the wiring herself, which was a bit of a relief tbh.She was alive yesterday.
I checked up on her.
