ok, briefly. poor N connections in 2 sockets, cable discoloured and insulation overheated. ring continuity lost by a builder's bodged extension wiring, so all sockets in house were fed with 1 leg of the ring.
respect to the telectrix man
....and the guy didnt get hurt using an iffy multimeter
Tel was a top man! Was a real eye-opener when he found the dodgy socket right by my 4 yo's bed OMG. Still amazed though as to what you can find in a house years after moving in, shocked the dodgy extension never came up on the building report for the mortgage. Spoke to someone who knew the previous owner and he confirmed he was a builder but no electrician but he has amazed it looked like he had cut corners as he said he was a top bloke and spent ages building the place. Going to get Tel back to sort out the feed to the extension soon.
Main point is - once i had explained the 'The Boss' what the problem was its amaxing how it still is somehow my fault even though the place was built three years before we bought it and she had told me what the problem was well before Tel even set foot in the house!! Women!!
