as for turning the power off you can't test an electric shower with the cover on and the power off.

not approved by the eca as a mains suitable tester for very good reasons, you may have a fairly good quality multimeter.
however no disrespect but you i would imagine are a highly skilled plumber, and i wouldnt question your judgement on that subject and i appreciate reading your posts on the subject, plumbing is not one of my subjects,
unvented systems, gas, gas technology commercial gas and even commercial catering are some of my skills.
apart from that i served my time as an electrical fitter, and im quite good at that.
as the holder of a JIB electrotechnical card im obliged to retake the csc section every 5yrs and assure you that multimeters are not considered an approved test device for mains voltages and currents.
they dont have fused leads to start with and if you think of all the carp lying around posing as a test meter bought off the local car boot sale costing a fiver then you will realise that they can and do blow peoples hands off at the best cause severe burns and difigurement.
I wont endorse the use of them as a mains tester.

I must have been imagining that old dear who had me back 3 times when her hot water kept going off. Only to find that it was tripping whenever she got the leccy back on after it had ran out.

who what where?
a fluke 600 pretty good but a martindale is the standard
all nice and hot now so thanks to those here that helped sort my problem!
As a aside, I asked my missus, did the power go off during the day etc. She said she heard the smoke alarm bleep - normally it does that when theres been a power interruption so maybe it was that...
