Intermittently tripping RCD - any ideas?

How did you repair the cable? Is this a recent event?

I repaired it by replacing the whole run from the junction box under the floor boards to the ceiling rose with 1.0mm T&E, and that was about 5 years ago, so I don't think it's that.

The house has a flat roof and a concrete ground floor throughout, so most of the wiring is run below the upstsairs floorboards.

Nick you didn't use amalgam to repair it did you? its not a filling you know!

Ha ha

I had a friend who "mended" the leaky petrol tank on his ancient Chevette with alginate, the stuff we use to take impressions of peoples' mouths with when making dentures
