I could only find Schneider ones which don't look like they'll fit (wrong way up) Yes they're C types, think who ever did this was probably more accustomed to industrial work. A metal Cu in a domestic premises before AM3?? Whatever next?Look for Schneider C60H RCBO.
Seems to be a lot of C curve MCBs in there for a domestic board.
What is wrong with a Type C in a domestic.
Why does the garage need RCD protection and why do you need 6 RCBOs?What do the two RCDs protect?
No idea why the garage has an RCD at this end, but it can stay put. I would replace the 6 mcb's in use with rcbos. Only need to work on /add to two circuits but why not do the job properly and make sure all circuits are protected?Why does the garage need RCD protection and why do you need 6 RCBOs?
There is no requirement to add additional rcd protection to circuits you are not working on.No idea why the garage has an RCD at this end, but it can stay put.

I have to add some sockets and lights, so certainly want to make sure all is rcd protected. As for upgrading the whole installation, it's mainly old coloured wiring and probably missing a cpc on some of the lighting circuits too but a rewire is not an option at this time...Sorry misunderstood, thought you were saying the shower and garage needed RCD protection.
So your intention is to upgrade the installation to the 17th?
As I thought westward, but I'd be happier doing so if the client is happy... it doesn't make any sense to me not to.There is no requirement to add additional rcd protection to circuits you are not working on.
