[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 457311, member: 6969"] A new RCD will be about £30 and take minutes to fit. Just get it done and move on. It could in fact have been like that since the property was built. Depending where the CU is located it can be very hard to see in the bottom, and a constant gripe of mine is the manufacturers still make rcd's and mcb's where it is even possible for the busbar to miss, when it is such a simple design change to eliminate that. It would be unusual for the electrician doing the testing to have to remove the busbar, hence I think it may have been like that for a long time, and just the fact he has been in the CU disconnecting and re connecting other connections for the testing he has disturbed what has long been a poor connection.
