Hi, i have a problem with an RCD in a Garage unit - 1/2 30mA no trip, 1 x 30mA >300, 5 x 30mA 17ms. Any ideas what could be happening for the 1 x 30mA test.

Cheers
 
That is a passable value, why do you think it is a problem

It is no passable sorry must either go to spec savers or get my > not confused with my <

It's an age thing WP is quite right

>300ms @ 30ma is not acceptable,most likely due to loads in circuit while the test is carried out,test at the RCD terminals with all loads isolated and it will almost certainly operate within the specified time.
