Thanks sparky. Matty, if bidi stands for bloody idiot domestic installer you'll find that the idiot ones are the ones that don't ask the questions, rather than the ones that do. Wonder how many electricians die of smugness? All you guys that help me without such comments - many thanks...

Many thanks for that. Don't want E7 and I'll get the isolator installed, and also the earth block. EFLI tests are OK, so I'll pass on the PME for the time being. Thanks for your help

Hi. This is a picture of a supply to a middle-of-terrace house. The conduit goes through to next door, so it would appear that the one main incoming cable feeds both houses. Am I right to be concerned that a) the main fuse for next door is in this house (not mine, a friend's) b) the...
