No resistance, moulded plug. Washing machine engineer coming tomorrow (warranty) but I'm still wondering if its the house electrics

When slowing down in my Citroen Berlingo Van 600D LX, the hand brake light flashes on and off sometimes stays on for a few seconds, the work "BRAKE" flashes on and off on the dash just below the speedo and I get an audible warning beeping. Have had all the brakes checked, front dics and pads...

Voltage is only present when power at socket is switched on. No voltage to socket fixing screw when switched on or off. No voltage betwen sink and fixing screw. No resistance reading from drum to earth pin on plug.

Yes I have read the topic you sent thanks, seemed slightly different problem. You get a definate tingly shock with or without shoes and only when touching both the drum and sink. Brand new house all the bonding seems to be in place as required. Checked out the dishwasher, tumble drier for...

New washing machine, plugged in and plumbed. Just by chance with 1 hand touching the adjacent SS sink unit and 1 hand touched the washer drum I got a really bad shock. On checking measure voltage was found to be 110VAC. Any suggestions?

Thanks for that, but it does not answer the point about the hand basin and vicinity of the lv shaver socket. Unless I'm missing something as there is no hand basin or toilet bowl shown on the diagrams, both of which have water supplies as per a bath or shower.

thank you

From what I've seen of "dot and dab" this terminology is slang for cheap bodge. Stick to real plaster.

the cable is 15m long and it supplies a double socket used for mower and tools and a shed light. the intention is to run the cable in the existing conduit, so does this still rule out artic?

I have a supply from my garage running underground to the shed. The cable is a 3 core 2.5mm twin and earth flat pvc run in a plastic conduit. Supply is from the consumer unit direct from it's own 16A RCBO The cable needs to be replaced. Is it okay to just renew this cable like for like or...
