[QUOTE="binky, post: 468995, member: 490"] Interesting that you have an RCD at all, that would not have been installed in the 70's. The insuation resistance being low could easily be a gadget like an aerial booster in the attic. Overall it seems the tester is being a little overzealous in my opinion. Cabling from that era should still be servicable, just about. I would suggest you up-date as you improve the house - tends to be more expensive that way, but breaks cost down, and saves damage to decor in every room that you have to live with until you can afford to do more work.
