Just fitted a 17th edition CU in a clients house.
the old cu was a metal clad old style, the house electrics have had extensive DIY work by the previous owner, had nothing but problems fitting this, RCD kept tripping, circuits not working etc, pain in the arse, various circuits with incorrect size cables, and about 4-5 wires in one 32 breaker as the previous owner has ran 'spurs' for there.
could not pick up a continuity reading as the tester kept going to 2000.
could only get reading from certain circuits at approx 1.58
In my opinion seeing the installation state id say its a disaster waiting to happen, and a rewire would be most appropriate.
Client would rather not rewire and i cannot think of any alternative, solutions??
