He says 'it's fairly important to change the consumer unit as it wont pass the Inspection in its current state.'
He's coming round tomorrow to replace it, has he given me duff advice?
Cheers,

Hope it helps.
Long time lurker so this may be my first question. I am a qualified electrical engineer, but in aeronautics not domestic installations, and I may therefore ask silly questions. We have purchased a property that is unfinished, and where the electrician went bust before the installation was...
When carrying out an EICR I found this board. The live bus bar cuts across the neutral where the tails have exposed copper. Is this the way these boards come? I have never came across this before

Hi Folks
I've been asked to quote for a consumer unit, supply cable and some internal wiring in a shipping container on a private caravan plot (single family residential). The container will be used as a shower block. The mains supply will come from a meterbox installed on a post on the plot...
This is getting embarrassing - I've been looking for a sub-main consumer unit in a church for an hour now.
I've found the incomer. There's a nice old Crabtree board with black breakers, one of which is a 50A for "Hall DB". It's a split level site and the hall is downstairs, and the fat 10mm T+E...
The photo shows a cooker hob ignition switch unit from a Neff/Bosch hob. One of the switches has failed. The issue was caused I think by ingress of liquid. I have dried the unit as well as I can. A replacement unit costs over £40. Has anyone ever opened one of these to repair it? I am reluctant...

Hi I have seen a few of these they fit flush inside a electrical cupboard I’ve seen Wylex and Crabtree . I’m changing this db but can’t find the name for these style of boards
I've got a Kewtech proving unit for sale if anyone is interested. Cheaper than the going rate to anybody on the forum.
