Well JohnD, yet again you have given good advice! I really think we are going to be left with no option but to change the cu, not sure I would rely on our electrician to purchase us good quality materials though judging by the comments on the cu we have! Again thanks a lot for your help and...

JohnD, are we talking loads of money here? Hundreds or Thousands??

[/url] Sorry JohnD, is this the type of RCBOs my unit would take??

So is it possible to be a faulty consumer unit?

JohnD, I still have the pics I sent last time on my computer but I can't remember how to do it. I think you directed me to another site last time, can I attach from here?

Should I take a pinch of salt with that steak!!

It is a M2 which is the same a MK?? I did post a picture last time and if I remember you didn't recognize it, you thought it was from Japan. So what you are saying, even without anything plugged in to any sockets a leak can be detected, ie from wires in damp walls etc? Thanks

Yes it is the same electrician, the make of CU is M2 which we have been told it is the same as MK?!?! Yes we have done decorating but like I said he has tested the sockets, but only downstairs so far.

[ My hubby took advise from another electrician today over the phone, and he did suggest checking for a fault between the neutral to earth and disconnect the neutrals and try them one at a time, but for him to be careful as they become live! However I'm not sure if he did try this as he is...

Hi, no I don't think so we have had the washing machine out and the dishwasher is intergrated but the socket is not close to it.

Hi JohnD, I think you gave me lots of advice last time! When you say damp, are we talking leaking water or for example rising damp in the walls? Also is it possible for the printer to trip out our rcd with nothing else plugged in but not trip our friends? Would this not mean the printer...

We had the whole house and new extension wired so complete rewire. He got the 2.99 reading from the kitchen sockets, he used the same machine for all downstairs sockets but I only looked at it once. We have no evidence of rodents or water leaks that I know of, think we might have a wasp nest...

Was just trying to get everything out in one breath!!

Hi, I have a real problem which I have posed on here some time ago and was given lots of good advice. However I still have same prob and have more info so am asking for any advice again. I will try to make this as short as possible! I had new electrics installed nearly a year ago, we...

JohnD, Thank you so much for your reply. At least I can go back to the electrician with some ideas, as he said he didn't have any others! I'll add to this posting when we have tried and let you know how it worked. Many thanks again!

Thank you plugwash, its going to be hard to argue this one out with the shop. Thanks again for all your help! :)

[/url] Thanks, ok lets give this a go! I've got two pictures for you. http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa59/lisac20/fuseboard2.jpg http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa59/lisac20/fuseboard1.jpg Any good??

Just trying to work out how to attach a picture, don't have a web site!

Hi again, I bet you think I've got an answer for everything but I have tried unplugging everything, then plugging in the washing machine and it will trip. I do understand that a selection of appliances can have a small leakage that will when all plugged in cause it to trip, but like I said it...

Hi plugwash, thanks for your comments. As this is a new installation do you think this is something my electrician should deal with? I don't want to start spending more money on it if I don't have to.
