Time to get the shovel out. It tripped on that MCB as well. thanks for the help.

Brilliant, but obvious, solution from friendly electrician. Test the circuit by connecting it to an adjacent MCB.

Opps. The CU is in the house. The 6 amp supply is only for lighting in the garage.

Thanks for that. It's easier to replace the MCB first, rather than the cable, so I'll try that.

It's 25 ohms between line and neutral in the garage, with line C.U. cable detached. It's a 35 foot run of 2.5 cable.

I've removed the power point in the garage, leaving just bare wires. I've checked the cable physically at all accessible points. When cable is disconnected from the MCB (Line only)multimeter shows 25ohm resistance at garage end.

I have an MCB (6A) on the feed to the garage, which keeps tripping. There is nothing connected to the circuit in the garage and I can find no damage to the cable, which is underground. The current MCB is a CH AM53 type 2 (BS6371) which is over 30 years old. It's in a block of six, but I assume...
