It's surprising what you can do - so long as you are not creating new ring mains or bathrooms.
But agree about the electrical safety with solicitors - who just cover their backs / sell indemnity policies.
One of the biggest is conservatories that are exempt from building control - but solicitors insist on the approval or try to sell an indemnity. I would write to building control asking for a letter saying it is exempt ;)

Have a look at the NICEIC web site for more info. There is a list of what you can or cannot do as a householder in the "Part P Factsheet" at the bottom of the Householder section (http://www.niceic.org.uk/en/householder/section.asp?SECTION=12).

don't see where in this article it says you can not carry out your own repairs. All cars over 3 years old require a "safety check" or MOT every year anyway. Have known cars to come back from a main dealer following a major service that have defects according to the MOT.
Having watched the video it strikes me that someone with plenty of time on their hands has an issue with car dealers!
Trying to find the bit where they ask you to make a donation
Scare mongers!
