The tip he did give me to get the 2.5mm flex to fit in a 10amp plug was to drop the rubbery plastic bits that need to stretch over the wire into a coffee cup of boiling water, lets the stretch over the shielding on the cable and when it cools it makes a really really good seal. Hope that helps a little. But yeah, make sure you know it is definitely hooked up right. :handgestures-thumbupleft:


+1 on that method also dit you get 3core and earth or is it brown blue green\yellow if it is blue br green its correct
