I've a 13a fused spur which is attached to single socket. The fused spur looks like it is used to power 2 security lights.

One night the breaker for my upstairs sockets tripped and after some investigation I discovered it was actually the fused spur in the garage that's causing it.

The socket next to it is fine but as soon as the fused spur is switch on that breaker trips again

I've changed the fuse (is 13a right for this?)
Took both faceplate off and checked cables, all looked OK and connected securely.

Anyone have any other ideas what might be causing it to trip the breaker?
 
Faiult after the FCU. Outside lights fav. here.
 
Open the terminal box on each light , the one the water pours out of is the one that is faulty!
