Hi guys I've just rewires the power in a cottage due to the plasterer putting a few screws through cables. I have fitted a new wylex rcd 8 way board and I have got a shower,ring,ring,radial and lights on it. The rcd will hold but if you plug in more than a boiler or a radio it trips straight away. I've tested the circuits and there is no damage to any of them. The lights hold on now too. I've not caught a cable in a box or screwed through one. It's not a split load board so crossed neutrals isn't going to be an issue.

I'm really stumped. Any help would be great
