Thanks again for the replies.
I am sure about the multimeter setting 200k. It was something I noticed and was not doing any specific tests.
I have disconnected all appliances and sockets and traced all the wiring to their coressponding sockets. I am 100% sure I have not missed anything.
I totally agree that the other cables in the wall and under the floor may also be damaged by water and or corrosion which is why I thought replacing that section in trunking would be safer. Condeming the unknown seemed like the obvious decision.
Naturally, I would like to remove the damaged cable to see what exactly is the problem but once its all isolated from the ring main I feel happier.
