My lights aren't working.. any chance you could have a look at them?

A fine example of DIY

But is the toasted neutral the same circuit as the inventive fuse wire terminal block?
How are some people still alive?

What is the stray peice of bare fusewire (?) doing at the bottom?


I hope you made it perfectly clear that you need to change the entire board. Full EICR beforehand to check any other DIY that has been done.

Man that’s horrible! Is that 2.5 in that 45a?

Flat grey clip holding the earth wire? Shocking!

Tsk, I would have at least used a connector block large enough to fit the tab on the rail, some of use bodger's still have a little class and style.

Ahh, I see, so that's what they mean by a 'split board'! Split between BS1361, 3036 and 60898's! Loving the home made 3036 on cct. no. 7.

Hey Matt - top pic, and it's provided a perfect reminder why we should isolate the board before taking the cover off .

But did you work out why the lights were out?

Someone had removed the light bulb..........

The stray piece of fuse wire is wrapped round the bus bar and into a connector and then out to the lights. A friend sent me this whilst he was on a job. They didn't want it replaced as 'it has always worked fine'. I believe he walked out after that
