[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 544463, member: 250"] With appropriate calibrated test equipment, continuity and insulation resistance will need to be verified for all cables. Whilst doing these test the functions of each cable should be identifiable. Once the composition and types of circuits are established then a suitable new consumer unit can be selected and installed. Once fitted further live tests of earth loop impedance, prospective fault current, RCD operating times etc.. can be undertaken. All test results with then need to be documented onto an electrical installation certificate. And a building regulations compliance notification will also need to be issued. This is all quite basic stuff for a competent electrician. But generally replacing consumer units is not a DIY task.. (Even though places like B&Q will sell consumer units to DIY'ers) Best solution, follow Murdoch's advice. [/QUOTE]
