The builder who is also a friend has knocked down his bungalow and built a new one in its place in his spare time,its took him 2 years,he dosnt live in it,but now its nearly complete he wants it signing off along with his corgi,Is that ok with you,If you cant answer the question why just not bother commenting,and yes it is to 17th reg editions with a dual rcd board that i fitted 3 days ago,the bathroom light is on its own circuit,and what sort of comment is why have you only used 16mm tails,! because they dont need to be 25mm,read your regs book mate,I aint a cowboy I take my work very seriously,Just wanted some advice....

i am aware u dont need 25 m tails in my book its good practice to fit 25 not 16 but its your job not mine
back to the point i take it the reading is the ze
have you checked that its not snaged on the insulation and conections are tight also that your clip on the tester is not losse or knackerd if this is all ok then you may need to call the power supplier to call out to check there systhem
what systhem of eath is it

Is the high Zs reading on all circuits, i.e on both RCD sides of cu because in the past I have come across high impeadance through a RCD for some reason.
