Hi Guys
Took this out today whilst on a refurb, not a model I've come across during last 25 years of 'being a spark!'
Any ideas what era it's from, guessing 60's maybe 🤔

Was having a poke around the old man's house today.
Anyway. DB is under stairs (18th ed following a recent extension. Not done by me but it's done well.) There's a submain in 2 core SWA feeding an old 2 way Wylex in the detached garage (lights and a socket radial). Entire sub is fed from a 16a...
Watched these two videos over the last few days.
Nick Bundy's mother in law had her bathroom remodelled and called him in when the lights went out.

1pm, quite happy doing my planned job. Builder then asks if I could go out to another job where the top lights have all tripped out.

I’d be keen to hear your thoughts on 1 of my customers problem.
Split board, TT system. Located in a village, neighbours report no problems.

It's nice to see a real world fault-finding video that at least aims to follow a logical process. As we occasionally get posts about how to fault find I thought I'd share it. It's also realistic that there a few head scratcher moments where nothing quite makes sense, and the value of keeping...
