Just to check - I only need to disconnect the neutral wires, one at a time and then check the resistance between it and the earth bar right ? I don't need to disconnect the live wires from the MCB as well ?

I think the CU is split load - it is made by Wylex and the left hand side says "Circuits protected by RCD" and is coloured red. The RHS says "circuits not protected by RCD" and is coloured green. The RCD switch itself is in the middle and on the far right is a double red main switch.

Thanks Lectrician. Will let you know the outcome. And yes foreigner = private job - basically a bit of Saturday extra cash for them, probably using "spare" parts from their company. I know if you buy cheap beware, but they are professional electricians doing the job every day so I expect that...

Thanks for the comments. The guys who did the job work for a large electrical contractor company and did it yesterday as a "foreigner". i.e. I imagine the parts came from their employer and there is no official certificate for the work. The England match was about to start hence their eagerness...
