Is the central heating (suspect pump?) on the ring circuit?

This record is wearing thin.

I'm amazed that one can still obtain needles for your records! :smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5:

Yes mate.

Anyhow yes, going to split rings tomorrow see what I can find. The house is owned by a hoarder and the things I've had to move today just to access sockets is ridiculous. Wish I'd never have taken it on now. But will find it and keep you all updated. Definitely learned a lesson on this one!

But would you have tested all the neutrals with each other for continuity to see if there was a borrowed neutral UK?

ps.. before the change.

As it happens, I do. It was ever since discovering a borrowed neutral on a stair light on a board I fitted a shower to.

I try to eliminate every possible problem before I change a board.

The be all and end all.....its cost the guy some good Spondoonies for his own cock up....the more time to find the fault, the more readies...he`ll think twice next time..!

Neutral to earth fault on up sockets.

Really? Well I'd never have guessed that one in a million billion years!!!!!

/sarcasm

maybe the back box wanted touching, but then went to an industrial tribunal claiming sexual harassment

So why didn't you find it before inconveniencing the customer?
