[QUOTE="Dancaw, post: 551519, member: 37652"] Hi All, I recently extended the ring main while converting my garage, added 8 additional sockets from the original socket which had 2 x 2.5mm twin earth cables. Continued the ring linking all new sockets, and last and final socket was connected to the second cable to the second socket . Everything was working then all of sudden, the original socket stopped working and 8th socket, yet all sockets in between work 2 - 7 I have also noticed the socket upstairs above the original socket I extended off is also dead.. i thought i ring main power comes in both directions? Ive tried swapping the original socket and still the same.. Ive tried swapping the two cables coming down to original socket, then the original socket and 8th sockets work and 2-7 dont, I would assume there is loose connections between socket 7&8 all of a sudden.. Of has the socket upstairs causing an issue? [/QUOTE]
