The power to my garage is supplied by a fused spur in the house. When switched on the fuse in the spur blows and the RCD trips! I found that a live wire had loosened and was hanging out of its connection! Could this be the cause of the problem?

Thank you very much that's extremely helpful!
Fault finding,
Step 1
Use eyes
More faults are detected visually and with the best guess approach that comes with experience than with some fancy test gear.
Fix the ones you can see before looking for others.
