dont touch it until the customer allows you to put the proper cable in.

typical customer mentality, "it works fine don't know what your on about" don't put your name to something that could melt and cause you your good name and business unless they want to pay up and have the cable changed

yeah just what i thought allow if a redring engineer fitted the part would he be held responsable for the installation?

As you have read, a shower s well capable of melting a 2.5. However, a customer will tell you it has been working ok for years etc. Probably got the heat setting on about half, which may be why the 2.5 has stood up for a while. Even if I couldnt pay the mortgage I wouldnt connect to this.

Re: Tell us about your faults !

Came across a nice one today whilst carrying out a PIR in Slovakia.

3 phase & neutral overhead supply to main dist board via 100A main switch no MET or main earth to be found no RCD's installed.
Isolated DB and opened to find that the only earths connected to the earth bar where all from outgoing circuits no incoming earth or main bonding conductors.
Tested Zs at DB and got 0.59 ohms very strange has i have no incoming earth.
Done ELI at each earth seperatly until i found the 1 that was giving me the 0.59 ohm reading.
This cpc was from an immersion heater circuit which was wired in 2.5mm / 1.0mm T&E.
On finding the immersion found that a uninsulated earth was taken from the immersion and wrapped round a water pipe.
Needless to say installation is now isolated ( i am in the good books with the office workers) untill it is rectified quite a bit of work required to make it safe.
Install guys should be out tomorrow with required kit so should be up and going by Wednesday.
