[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 457403, member: 1607"] True, unless bob the builder only just tucked it under the first screw? Which is quite feasible. The best course of action I would suggest is employ an electrician to check all the terminations in this block and inside the consumer units and the earth wires. And to double check a reading called the earth loop impedance. Which will basically confirm the incoming supply is all good with no other nasty bad joints on the Live or Earth either. A standard 1hour call out charge would be plenty of time to check over all of the incoming supply connections and the bus-bar to MCB connections etc. We have another recent thread where a lose connection inside the fuse box resulted in a protective RCD switch failing. A few quick tests would be very worth while investment in my opinion. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
