1.0 out of 5 stars A complaint 10 Jun 2005
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
What a disappointment!

What a brilliant book the Collins Complete DIY is, good drawings, instructions the whole works.
Hoping that the Collins Wiring Guide would take a more
specialist view of wiring I ordered that as well.
Big Disappointmnet. This is a perfect copy of the electrical section of the Complete Manual page for page diagram for diagram... what a cheat!
Moreover when you try to point this out to Amazon there is no way to contact them...and then they do not pay postage either way when you return the book!

What a pity such shoddy sales techniques diminishes the excellent Complete Manual.

2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated! 22 Mar 2004
By Simon Hardingham
Format:Paperback
I found this book very outdated, does not show any up to date consumer units or fuse boards. I didn't find the book at all helpfull. Well nothing i didn't already know really.
Wouldn't recommend it to anyone putting any new installations in or upgrading any. I felt let down.

4.0 out of 5 stars All you need to know 7 Dec 2010
By Taz002
Format:Paperback
Good practical book for DIY, plenty of information and pictures/diagrams,bought this 2010 edition to replace my 2006 edition but some of the photos had not been updated to comply with 17th edition electrical regulations i.e photo of consumer unit. Does give details of new building control regulations.
