Yeah ok' I'll look in tomorrow but I'm thinking now that some cowboy wired the house 10 years ago and there may be something sinister going on like a huge non compliant joint hidden under the floor somewhere. Hope not though.

If they did, it was an approved contractor doing all the new builds! I will reserve judgement until I have done all the tests. I have already found IR value of 1.5 M ohms on the two RFC's. Its a new house just about!!
 
When carrying out continuity tests care should be taken to locate and disconnect where practicable any extraneous conductive paths connected in parallel to the installation.

I did disconnect cpc's at both ends so thought I had complied with that!
 
If you're disconnecting the CPC's I'd recommend disconnecting the L & N's on each circuit in turn so you can be sure that you have the correct ones matched up.
