[QUOTE="binky, post: 538860, member: 490"] That old Wylex boad is the sort of 'rats nest' of wiring we all love so much! :D . Given what you have found, I think I would be inclined to rewire the garage light feed. There are ways of testing to fing which cct the neutral has been borrowed from, but as that involves working live, I'm not inclined to give such advice as it's 'naughty' and potentially dangerous. The less dodgy option is complete the rest of the work, leaving those 2 cables disconnected, as see what else doesn't work other than the garage lights. [/QUOTE]
