TT earth cable small and god knows where the rod is

[static zap]

And a small weedy cable to the earth electrode....
Enough to trip RCD

And survive some mechanical damage / corrosion ....!

So an update.
Installed a new earth rod and cable, ze now down to an amazing 0.29.
We pleased and well worth the effort

Is that 0.29ohms just the rod? All other earths disconnected?

ze now down to an amazing 0.29.

0.29 ohms, or kilohms? What did you drive the rod into... the water pipe or the service cable neutral?

Just read my post lol,note to self read what you write before clicking post, 29Ω was reading 99Ω when I started.
First earth rod I have replaced so was not sure what to expect, thought maybe 45-50Ω, but was really pleased with 29Ω.
Is that about right ?.

29 Ohms is very good.
Especially when you consider the line, transformer windings and the rod at the transformer is supposed to be 21 Ohms.
