While putting the socket back on the earth wire broke off one of the cables close to where it enters the metal box. Too much bending back and forth. What solutions do you guys have for this?
I can think of three
Leave it as its a ring circuit so there is still an earth connection from this socket going down the other leg
Try and put a chock block onto the end of the cable (I can pull it up abouta cm) and add another piece of earth to reach the socket terminal.
Lift floor boards and break into ceiling to replace cable to previous/next socket
The last is my least favourite options.
