Live sockets

[gvelec]

Hi all,

I'm new here, so please go easy :yes:. Would appreciate some assistance though.

I've just been around to my mums and go a little buzzing type shock from the toaster. I only had my electrical testing screwdriver with me as i'm miles away from home. The screws are indeed live for this socket as well as for a neighbouring socket. Verified that it is a ring from the DU, and have killed the circuit.

I've checked the earth connections to the sockets and they are fine. Any ideas on how i can test and fix this up in quick time with no equipment. I know that really should have been carrying my Kewteck multifunction :6:.

Thanks

I haven't had a holiday this year, so I was working and writing up long after you'd flown off to sunnier climes.
