I have the new unit ready. The old one has to go...it consists of the old push in pull out fuses and also has no plastic casing just metal (it was like that when i bought the house). I have experience of adding / removing circuits to a consumer unit. Outside the house there is a plastic box which used to contain a prepayment meter (we got that removed and so all thats there now is the main supply going into the meter and then on into old consumer unit above front door area. It seems that all I have to do is reomve a large 'fuse' between the main supply and the meter. The problem is that this has two metal ties on it (obviously to discourage people). If I paid someone to do the job (which is what I'm trying to avoid) they would cut these no doubt. My main question is a legal one. Is the customer allowed to remove this fuse in order to do maintenance?
If so, great [is any special tool required, or do I just pull it out by its plastic casing?]. If I am not legally allowed dont worry I wont
Thanks
