Insulation Resistance Test??

I havent read the full thread, but has anyone suggested joining L to N and testing to earth, this will eliminate any inaccessible sockets, spurs, and plug in air fresheners.

Hi Howard: Thread seems to have gone off on a Tangent mate & I have'nt got the patience to go back through all of it, but I think 1 of the boys suggested this towards the beginning of the thread.

Probably a bit late for comment on this thread, but I had problems with an IR test on a ring - Lives to Earth bad, so tested L to E, OK, but between N and E it was 0.17 MegaOhms - not good! The culprit was a whirlpool bath, supplied from a fused spur off the ring, that had had the fuse removed, so I thought isolated. But it's a lesson learnt now, to remove the load entirely from an FCU if there are problems.

I have to agree with the other posters, search around, there could be a lighting circuit upstairs connected to the ring. I've seen to many weired and wonderful hidden loads whils performing an IR test . Good luck
