Hi,
My consumer unit is a TT system and I recently asked an electrician to come and check it, and to install an isolator for me as well. This is what I ended up with:

He said the earth was fine though I have my doubts and I fancy sinking a new copper rod just in case. This is something I can do isn't it?
I have the following questions:
1. Can I get my regional electricity supplier to sort me out with a decent incoming earth converting it from a TT system and if so is this something they're responsible for or me?
2. I really do need an RCD from what I've read on here. Can I just have the isolator fitted with an RCD or is it worth having a whole new CU installed complete with RCD?
3. Will a 100A 30mA RCD be suitable?
Thanks for looking
