mate, u have a problem with cables, so pick up the phone and call a spark, or this thread will go on and on and it will still come to the same conclusion in the end! not being rude but u obviously do not have the electrical knowledge to even know where to start looking, it could be anywhere?? the cables may be attached, but could be nicked to cause rhe fault to trip breaker.

ok, thanks steve

no problems mate! if they are still exposed and the fault is in that location then the spark will have a breeze!!

happy chopping plaster!! i did it just before xmas..! total stress relief!!

Concensus of opinion from about 6 different people are that by popping your plaster you have damaged the cable, pulled the cable so it's pull out of a connection and is shorting so I would say it's definately something you did.

It's al ittle pointless to be honest to keep coming back saying light was not on, you never hit it very hard I agree with everything that as been written, it may be time for you to also agree.

Either check where the cables go and open up the accessory to see if a cable as come out and shorting. If it's not there then it's time to call an expert to either reapir or change the cable.

unless you trip the lights

there are several forum members in your area. sure one could sort it out for you.

You got the correct advice way back in post number 3

Remember, even though the light wasn't on, you may have damaged a switch wire or if you have an rcd/rcbo, caused a neutral-earth fault.
