Pond spaghetti anyone, all outside in a dripping wet brick pillar no rcd all in 1.5 t&e no earth connected and the black flex was cut off in the garden still live inches from metal railings around the pond. Lethal! All this was also from 3036 30a fuse. Not any more all removed!

Got 9 bollards with a 0.08 N-E IR, all jointed underground with a flex coming through a concrete block. Mini digger coming tomorrow to break the lot of these out and to be re done in proper torpedos , or where possible both armoured brought into the new bollards. Installation less than 3 years old

yes that is a flex through a SWA gland with some tape to thicken it up.

So they are normal non-sealed boxes with some attempt to pot with resin or whatever?

Galv Tees with some form of resin poorly poured. Best thing about the job is the Wagos. Honestly I’ve spent a day trying to break this circuit down, from the R1R2 reading we estimate this circuit is about 250 metres long 2.5mm lighting circuit.
