Look up Kirchoff current laws, it is very interesting, and one of the first principles that I learnt at college.

God knows what they teach these kids nowadays
 
is the most probable cause to all this was because the spurred 2.5mm leg was overloaded at times causing MCB too trip? this logic IS possible?

i just didnt want to rewire and the same problem to occur! how silly would I look!

i just want too make sure there was logic in my conclusion!
 
Can you run a new cable 4mm to feed half the overloaded side on a 32 amp mcb
The existing 2 feeds will become 2x20amp radials

Ending up with 2x20amp radials and one 32 amp radial
Spreading that load should help rather than trying to solve it by using rings
 
No, might have caused a fire though

looks to be more involved than i thought, are we any clearer as to cause? of course ill have to pop back at some point and see if anything upstairs is stealing power from the kitchen ring. mite shed some light HOPEFULLY.
