this is not a diy job Steve , you need to be part p qualified
 
OK WELL, OK WELL, OK WELL, OK WELL

It sounds like you could have a split board and the neutral is on the wrong side.

Is it the RCD that trips?

Try changing the neutral


At the bottom right of this box there is a "Spell Check". Use it OK WELL, OK WELL, OK WELL, OK WELL
