About five years ago I suggested a rewire as much of the wiring is 50+ years old. Whoever replaced the board have actually made it worse.

Disgrace. How can such people masquerade as electricians?
Damage to the new board, too...carried through with the drill? and that cb, as well?
Was it not a level surface to begin with?
Levitation... or have the two outside conduits grown wings?

Can't quite picture the original board but I can't understand why the conduits don't line up because they cannot be moved.

Could there have been a thread converter on the end of one conduit to suit pre existing holes in the original consumer unit?

I remember when I started off in industry I used to see a lot of issues with bushings where the conduit is used as CPC

They'd be sparking sometimes when check EFLI at outlets

50 years in the trade and I've rarely come across anything like that. Since the Millennium, I can see it being much more of an issue. Hence westwood's photos.
Domestic standards aren't just creeping into industry, for sure.

Something being the neutral block of a MEM Exel? Hopefully it didn't let go completely with a 3-phase load on.

Indeedy but no I don't believe the neutral was lost. Found it by chance just been back to change but must have been hot, new one fitted now.

At least you have not chewed the screw heads up on the new one like someone did with the original.
