[QUOTE="RoryL, post: 489046, member: 32003"] Ok, just to let you know that I tried your "one more test" and it solved the problem. It was a simple matter of resetting the RCD switch to the 'down' position by pressing the button in while I did that, and with the main power switch off. Then when I switched the main power back on ... voila, sockets working and no tripping. This is why I was reluctant to call someone out tsraight away , in case it turned out to be something that simple. I'd never even heard of an RCD until this week. Anyway, I hugely appreciate all you guys time and advice. Props. [/QUOTE]
