Only the house alarm and that’s the first thing I did last night was swap out the 13a fuse to that.Is there anything else connected without a plug? Boiler, lights, garden circuit, cooker?

It might confuse Totenham fans and cowboys.Please don't call them spurs.
But what term does OP know?Please don't call them spurs.
I agree the accessory with a switch is not a spur..Please don't call them spurs.
I'll usually stick whith what the other person understands as long as it makes sense and isn't likely to cause confusion.But what term does OP know?
Isn't that the French pronounciation... Oh won't that be where the word came from?and pronounced conduit "condwee"
Wee.Isn't that the French pronounciation?
Now now no need to p155aboutWee.
It seems strange that it was arcing with the power off, however I've stopped being surprised by symptoms and causes.Update: turns out it was wiring arcing in a bedroom socket causing the issues. Seems to be sorted now but took hours to locate, even with all the MCB’s off in that CU the RCD was still tripping. Thanks for all help & advice offered, much appreciated
Agreed, but even with every MCB off on CU#1, plugging any appliance into a socket served directly by the CU#2 tripped the RCD on CU#1 which just added to the confusion. Seems the electrician that installed CU#2 didn’t do everything by the book which is disappointing.It seems strange that it was arcing with the power off, however I've stopped being surprised by symptoms and causes.
These things do crop up sometimes even when correctly installed. I recall RFlighting (one of our highly respected contributers) posted a video on here showing very strange behaviour of RCBOs in a CU or Distribution Board interacting with each other.Agreed, but even with every MCB off on CU#1, plugging any appliance into a socket served directly by the CU#2 tripped the RCD on CU#1 which just added to the confusion.
