I don’t think the neutral bar should be floating around like that.

yes, thats pretty standard when it comes to old wiring.
Did you get it tidied up? Bit of sleeving? Job's a good 'un

Was only replacing it for a usb type. Managed to squeeze some wagos in there. It's a pain in the --- for dead testing having them all twisted like that.

I didn't think of that. I was slightly concerned the wago's weren't going to fit and I didn't have any extension things with me to just hack them off.

Did Wago's grip the stranded cable ok?
id have cut off and restripped a clean bit of conductor... twisted them individually, and put the 3 into the back of the socket.

Im sure they are fine for stranded cable, but freshly stripped back, clean and neatly twisted stranded cable..... not that!

Almost certainly , intermittent arcing when switched on
Nearltly all old stranded house wiring I come across has had the sh!t twisted out of it ...
Yeah I use the 221 5 ways, you have to use the lever instead of forcing it in with stranded. I cut it back and it was twisted neatly when I stripped it. The conductors weren't long enough unfortunately so needed extending. Technically it was two spurs from one point I suppose and I could of used lots of two way ones.

You should always use the lever with a Wago that has that facility, the days of forcing in a cable are a while ago and the old type of Wago, in fact I don't think they make them anymore, certainly I can't find them on their web site, but TLC still have them, in preference I would always use the lever type.

You still get the push fit style Wagos, they have a couple ranges of them at least - the 2273 are newer and smaller, and there still is the 773 series
True however with flex sometimes you have to as you tend to get spider legs, I always give em a tug and if they don't pull out then they won't fall out.
