My house has borrowed neutrals, found out the hard way a few weeks back while changing a light fitting in the kitchen, tested dead but got a shock.
House is 1930's rewire was done in the 80's at some point.
CU has been replaced with a split RCD board from an old wylex board, I think you can see where I am going with this one.
Hall/Landing
From the double switch in the hall i have a T&E and a single core cable
Upstairs at the single switch I have one T&E, I have seen the other end of the single up in the loft previously.
.......
Kitchen
This room used to have two way lighting but has since been changed, single switch as you enter the room only operates the light closest to me, just a single T&E back to the JB.
The other end of the room by the back door has a double switch, T&E cable plus a single that goes directly back into the light fitting (This I imagine would have gone back to the ther light originally)
Only one of the two switches operates anything.
My questions
Hall/landing - How do I rectify this fault\design flaw
Kitchen - I want both light to come on and off together from a single switch at either end of the room, is this possible?
I ask now as I have a stud wall down and can get to the cables very easily at the moment.
