Mike, Have tried it before but without the honey so probably where i was going wrong, Will give it a go.

I have tried all the various methods above that work on black ants but have had no luck getting rid of red ants, Whilst boiling water will do it it kills the grass and roots so an unsightly patch on the grass, any ideas?

Easus data recovery, not used it but have used other of the freebies from this Co

3pints of Lidl ipa and im grounded.

The Screwfix one has what looks like a part No that is the same as the ones i have fitted, British General cur6330.

Arh well have to put away tonights romantic lighting.

Thanks John, I have a dmm and if it gets serious i will dig the Avo8 out.

Unbelievable, As the rcd that would not reset is next to the main switch i thought give it one more try before turning the lot off and it reset! I will pop down to Screwfix and pick up another rcd and replace Tuesday and advise the outcome although i am still in the naughty cupboard as far as...

Rocky, sorry did not see your post but no it's not.

Yes but do not know if it it covers both, it's red and is a bg cusw100, i have put that as not sure links are allowed.

I would put a new rcd in but the cu does not have an isolator switch so that only leaves pulling the company fuse, Either way if disconnecting the neutrals or replacing the rcd will still involve pulling the fuse so not sure how to proceed.

Tested the rcd on the upstairs circuit and that was ok and whilst fitting the spot having checked for no voltage the n+e touched and i heard the rcd trip, problem now is it will not reset b*&**r on a bank holiday weekend. Have tried turning off the 3 circuits protected by the rcd and will still...

John/Elfi, Thank you both for your time and will post results of the above tomorrow pm.

Yes it's led spot one sensor,although will have to test the socket circuit rcd tomorrow once swmbo has finished watching something called Hollyoaks!

Yes the light does have a earth and it was connected when i tried it on a plug but the sockets are on another rcd to the one that trips, i think you call it a split cu? although i have never tested either of the rcd's The circuit that trips has lower lights,cooker and the washing mc which uses...

Thanks John, Im clutching at straws now.

Going back to using an incandescent lamp and it working although as pointed out no earth was connected would it be worth trying a 9w bc led in without earth or would that work anyway as no imbalance could be detected without the earth.

I know googling stuff can be a mistake but i found this although it relates to led strips. Two things that immediately spring to mind. Firstly the LED light strip drivers probably have internal surge arrestors. When surge arrestors actually 'arrest' a surge it would be seen by the RCD as a fault...

Correct, But thinking about it the only other thing is a borrowed earth from the downstairs toilet to a light under the stairs a distance of 1m although both fittings are plastic and both lights are on the downstairs circuit as i checked when it tripped the second time yesterday after checking...

Yes, they are both 63a/30Ma, the lights are split up and down with the sockets being on the upper one, all lights both up and down are led apart from 1 cfl on both circuits.
