[QUOTE="RoryL, post: 488969, member: 32003"] Hi, Yes, I wouldn't get into replacing anything, and would get a sparky in. I was just trying to ascertain if it was something simple before taking that step. When you ask if the main RCD will reset and stay with power off, I don't know what position it is supposed to be set in if all was well. Is it supposed to be 'down' and trips up when there is a fault?? ... perhaps you could clarify. What I can say is the description I have given (off it feeling sprung when I pull it down and going back to it's one o'clock position when I release it) is the same whether the main switch is on or off. No change either way. I have noticed that when I push and hold that button above the lever, it seems to relase the spring mechanism and the lever goes down a little further than usual. But still srings back up when I'm not holding anything down. Same for main switch on or off. Thanks again [/QUOTE]
