    The Future of Fuse boards...?

    Well it's smaller than the steel knockout and makes it nice and easy to feed the cables into the back of the CU, so what's the point in making the cutout smaller and more fiddly ?

    Is this a Part P failure?

    The other amateurish oversight is using the black of the SWA as neutral and grey as the cpc, I come across this fairly often, very irritating. 🙂

    At the risk of causing any offence, many BMW and Audi drivers seem to have the same attitude...

    This seems to be a common thing with drivers of large status symbol cars,generally arrogant sh1tes, pretty much every day I get one coming at me really wide, and I'm in a Peugeot Expert van so not a small vehicle. They also have an overwhelming urge to try dangerous and totally unnecessary...

    There's always someone out there willing to undercut you, but it's very satisfying when you get another call to put their bodges right. 🙂

    That MK socket was probably damaged by extreme heat from the live pin on the plug - quite possibly the fuse wasn't tight enough, but it's pretty inevitable if you put a constant 3kW on it for any length of time.

    Another scam phone call

    I tend to go for the opposite approach and tell them to f*ck off within a few seconds. Didn't go down too well when a vicar rang recently and I got the wrong end of the stick.... 😁

    No power through ceiling rose

    Thank goodness the problem wasn't in a multi-lamp fitting, we'd be here until Xmas 2023. 😂

    Y Plan heating and UF heating controls

    I think the OP means that the boiler switching pair comes from two sources , the stat/s for the original system and the heatmiser u/f controller, but both from the same circuit, this is perfectly ok if I'm right.......

    SPDs do i need to fit them?

    SC beat me to it, and with a much more comprehensive post too. 😁

    SPDs do i need to fit them?

    Yeah, but take into account cable length, insulation,volt drop etc and 1.5 would soon become a very poor choice.

    Sub-main to the garage in house I just bought

    I'm not worried at all, just thought in your own home it's nice to go a bit 'belt and braces'....🙂

    Even if the Zs is sufficiently low not to require additional protection it wouldn't do any harm to install a 100ma S type RCD at the switch fuse end, just in case of failure of the downstream RCD/s.
