Continuity Between Neutral Of Ring And Lighting Circuits

Have'nt i told you before ? You must'nt hide junction boxes in the wall

Wish you could of told whoever put it there in the first place! I would not dream of leaving it there as my trashed kitchen wall can now testify, floor to ceiling chase and all new cables!

Just think of the satisfaction you've got from tracing a pig of a fault (forgot to say: well done on that by the way). Unfortunately you'll find a lot of that sort of thing having been done & not only by the DIY brigade.

Forks ache!

A JB plastered into the wall like that! unbelievable!
Well done for finding it!

Nice bit of JB tracing indeed! Do you do water divining as well!! Looks quite neat in there - just totaly wrong! Ow. A case of a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Well sussed mate.

Impressive, well found that man! :tank:

but it's worked perfectly for years, judging by the green only cpc sleeving!!!

and well done for finding the pig. that would have had many a good spark baffled.

Thanks for all the praise. Now all rewired with cables going straight up the wall instead of diagonally and neatly capped waiting for the plasterer to re plaster the whole wall (had to take a lot more off to sort it out)

Yes worked perfectly, only when you come to test it and realise three circuits are linked together and it's oh so wrong!
