The yellow core of the 3c+e shouldn't have really been cut back, if not required it should have been connected to earth.

If not required it should have been terminated safely........connected to earth? not!

Any spare cores should be connected to earth, not left floating.

Spark's advice is sound & in line with NIC guidelines - connect any unused cores to earth.

Is 2.5mm² 3C+E actually available???

Yeah you can get it, but not really sure what you'd use it for

AFAIK, its available but only just, not that easily and not cheap, depending on what you are doing you might choose to run 2 twin and earths, or use a different wireing method such as SWA, MI or singles in conduit

I don't belive its actually a requirement to do it though.

Although the reply from baxpoti seems to indicate it is actually wrong to connect spare cores to earth?
