or it has been sat on the shelf in the shop for 6 years prior to been bought!

Your 40amp not mA as you keep saying is ok for an 8.5kw shower, it sounds like you have a cabling issue and that's what needs testing between the db and switch and switch to shower Beaten to it damn!!

This guy is a knob, why are we bothering answering his questions - at least when it goes wrong all the other residents know who to blame!

If your on the domestic installer scheme why are you getting involved in commercial work? If your pretty highly qualified why are you asking questions on a DIY forum and it's not a fairly unusual situation, your just out of your depth. If your qualified why do you think it could be against...
