Thanks, this is really helpful. Think we will take a chance with the wicker, declare it, and see what happens.
Just been googling how to change a moulded plug. Looks pretty easy. Might give that a go on some of my power tools. I kind of assumed that modern moulded plugs would be a nightmare to change, compared to the older style ones that just unscrewed. Only thing is I won't know if it actually works until I get to Australia and plug it in !
And yes, my wife did tell me that we can't mess with electrics in Australia. We are moving to NSW, and need a few light switches changed over. It's not really where my expertise is, so will probably get someone in for all that.
