[QUOTE="Redcar Bear, post: 528309, member: 35120"] I am not an electrician but I have ben in the building trade all my life. and seen many burnt wires in terminals. When cables are secured and pushed into the box I find it good practice to ease the whole assembly (switch etc) forward so that any losening of connection with the initial push and twist can be given an extra tweak not as easy with layers of choc blocks rammed in tight.
