What would you do?

you could have fixed it the builders method. connect the neutral wire to the earth terminal. that would work temporarily. you'd have to bypass the RCD with a couple of bits of 1.0mm though. (and in case anybody thought i was serious, my your god help you)

I'd have to question you using 1.0mm cable mate, surely the CSA of it will be too big to trip the 100A RCD? I'd use bellwire myself. But then I know what I'm talking about because I completed my 5 week course. Its people like you who give us cowboys a bad name.

fair play mate you done the right thing. but i know what you mean when people put pressure on you it is hard to say no. hopefully when she has had time to cool down im sure she will understand.

I tried doing that with 10mm but couldnt get the cu cover back on so decided not to risk it.lol
Thanks for all your replies everyone. Its always nice to get a bit of approval from people who know what theyre on about

I agree. Simply wrapping the wire around the post is not acceptable, but if you then clamp it with a clothes peg or similar I think you'll find that complies with the regs.
