Seems quite straight forward to me.

Yes, there is one extra Neutral.
Anyone see any issues with this consumer unit?

Fair enough - some of us are more clever than others!.
Where does the one I've labelled "X" here go, and are all three "Y"s the same conductor, or what ...
I'm not at home but I'm reasonably sure from memory, x goes to the right most y, from 1 rcd to the other.
Left most y is the shower, pretty sure we've established it needs moving to the right as shown with an orange line in my earlier picture.
Middle y is the same wire as left y above.

OK
Again, OK - so are you saying that the one labelled with my left-most "Y" is the neutral conductor of the 40A circuit (connected to the wrong neutral bar)?
Yes - and the middle "Y" which has "X" behind it.
Hi all,
Back from a weekend away so I've had a chance to check a few things.
Firstly there are 3 lives in the left hand B6 for the lights so that matches with the 3 neutrals questioned earlier.
The neutrals from the main switch and between the rcds are as efli has marked in the quote above,
In the image above,
The neutral marked orange goes to a terminal marked N,
The neutral marked red goes to another terminal marked N,
The neutral marked green goes to a terminal marked N2,
The neutral marked pink is from the right hand B40 and should be moved to the right of the neutral marked in blue,
The neutral marked blue is to a terminal marked N4.
Are the 4 neutrals going to N, N, N2 and N4 correct where they are or should N2 and N4 be going to N1 and N2 respectively, or does it not make a difference?
Thanks
Chris
The correct neutral wiring is shown in my diagram in post #18 and I think that is what you have so seems to be as it should be.
However, I am puzzled by N2 and N4; where are they marked as that?

They are marked on the blue labelling below the neutral bars, N2 is hidden by the left cable (marked green), it's the next marking to the right of the N1 you can see and N4 is hidden by the right most cable (marked blue)
N2 and N4 as they are labelled below the neutral bars are the 2 cables out of the bottom of the 2 rcd's respectively
Ah. Ok, thanks.
The numbers don't mean anything.
They are just for you to use if you want to - or to tear off and use the bar for something else.
