    OK so did you turn the switch on ? Did it trip? Are all the others rooms still working? Have you got any means of testing continuity ie an avo meter?

    OK Trace the red that's in the same cable as the black with red tape and cover with caps separately and then reconnect the other 2 reds together & the 2 blacks together,see if that stops the tripping

    So tell me is it still tripping with out the light connected? And if the answer is yes it's not tripping, are you sure you didn't mix up the switch wire? As that is the main reason for it tripping if you did

    csa of wylex rcd live and neutral link cables

    Not used Wylex boards are they solid links or flex type cables ? But as long as the cable can take 80amps ie 16mm and above it wouldn't matter.
