    Any point getting this consumer unit replaced?

    Hello, I was thinking of getting this consumer unit replaced as it is made of plastic, the lid doesn't really close properly, it hasn't been tested in awhile and I had to have my ringdoor bell supply put into another box as there was no space. Do you think it is worth it to get a new one?
