Three MK 45A pull cords all failing to make on live.

Fitted the first, no live at the shower. No continuity across the switch when on, Neutral making fine.

Second and third tested on the counter at screwfix, one failed on live the other on both live and neutral.

Fourth one was dropped by the shop monkey and smashed the Bakelite.

Fifth one fitted and tested.

30 min job took 2.5 hours due to poor QC at MK.

Not a happy bunny.

That really is poor!

The general consensus seems to be to go for 50A crabtree one. There's been a few posts where that switch gets mentioned as one of the best.
 
Got caught out really as Screwfix were just round the corner as opposed to a 40min drive to somewhere sensible.

Will get a crabtree for the van.
you got a shower in the van??? talking about turning up on site clean??? sheesh.
