    Which RCBO fits this merlin gerlin multi 9 board?

    The board in the picture below has 2 x RCBO's in it, they look like matches so I'm guessing schneider is the new merlin gerlin and that these RCBO's are a perfect fit? However, Schneider seem to do other RCBO's. Easy9, acti9 and others. The Acti9 looks like it may fit this board but it is more...

    Volvo 850 multi connector

    I have an old Volvo 850 and have been diagnosing a problem with the abs. I narrowed it down to the multi connector which connects to the abs unit in the engine bay. Is there a way of pulling the individual cables out of multi connector for inspection?
