    Sup bonding code for property with no rcd

    I see what you mean as no exposed conductive parts on shower or pull cords my idea was to avoid running a cable from the floor to ceiling and that cross bonding the CPC's in pull cords would help lower the resistance between them, now thinking code 3 would be adiquet

    Strange RCD Fault

    Just something to consider if it's a split board have you checked the neutrals all correspond with the correct neutral terminal. Or maybe two circuits on separate rcd's are sharing the same neutral away from the fuse board i.e junction box
