Called out today by new owners to a domestic 3 bed semi with history of nuisance RCD tripping from day 1 (lived there about a month). TNS. No dual supply. No regular pattern to tripping. Most appliances new.

First - Ramp Tested RCD unit with no loads = 25mA (can live with that). Popped leakage tester on earthing conductor =0.2A (yes AMP!). Opened MCBs one by one - no change - finally main incomer - but still 0.2A (see photo). Any thoughts? (please ignore the obvious other errors on the board).
