[QUOTE="daveg, post: 555721, member: 37649"] Thanks for all the replies today - I have learnt a lot. I still can't understand how the tails going through different holes could ever cause a problem and if that was the only thing wrong I wouldn't worry. Andy Keep Calm makes a good point if there is a loose connection somewhere it could cause a fire - how on earth do regulations allow changing an MCB fix this when I am seeing posts on landlord forums about HMOs not being up to date because they don't have spark detectors? I will go with the £288 to get a certificate for now. The tenants are moving out next month so when the property is empty I will go and see if I can find the break in the circuit. I have got a multimeter and one of those socket checkers so first step is disconnect one end of the ring circuit and go round the sockets until I find one that fails. [/QUOTE]
