I have an extension lead (from a 13 amp plug) running out of a

unsatisfactory) arrangement. I am not "part P", don't really want to
pay a fortune, and have the following queries.

Is this technically not actually illegal ? Could I run the
outside bit in buried SWA, but still have it "plugged in" via a 13
amp plug in the house, so its unpluggable ? Can I leave as is ?
What should I do to comply with all the current regs ( which I am
unaware of at the moment) ?

Well given that you are asking this question, could I politely suggest
that you call in an electrician and get it done properly.

This group is called uk.d-i-y,

And your point is?

and the last time I checked it wasn't illegal
to carry out wiring or rewiring, whether you are certified or not.

Correct, but it can carry the death penalty if you don't do it
properly.

Which is perhaps why he asked here before doing what is, in reality, a
fairly trivial procedure

There are those of us here for whom "getting a man in" is not going to
happen, and are quite happy to help anyone else who feels the same way
