[QUOTE="RussellR, post: 80508, member: 5189"] I had a look at a domestic job yesterday, Burning smell from a socket people have recently moved in, I was getting continuity from live to earth (due to a nail being through the cable). no problem there, but speaking to the client he said the breaker never went, opened the board and there was a nice bit of wire linking the breaker out !!! Which was burned, and was slowly devouring some of the other wiring. On further exploration I found several other faults, So now we are into a new CU, replacement of a large part of the wiring and fittings. So you have to feel for the customer sometimes :) [/QUOTE]
