ive checked terminations on the ring. ive even taken all face plates off and tested every leg to leg. ive just put a temp link between the two sockets that are open earth. then cross connected R1R2 and R2R1 and gettin a good reading of 0.39 to 0.44 ohms at every socket with the temp link. please bear in mind that the whole house is shoddy wired cables extended with connector blocks.
on one socket its a stranded earth cable but by the time its reached the socket D/S its been changed to a solid copper conductor. there is no visual connection so it must be berried in the wall. i think the best thing to do is just replace that leg of the ring.
