I feel you have hit some karmic introspective juncture.

Can you translate that into Geordie for me please??

This is why I support the idea of Domestic installers and the like, not being permitted to carry out EICRs. Or there should at least be another registration process in order to be able to do so!

thats a bit harsh isn't it. I got me 2391, also I was thinking whilst going over what I did, the 2391 only teaches you the process of the test and to do it safety and then you have the 17 edition to refer to, everything else I have picked up is from experience. With how you explain it people can just install what they want illegally then when it comes to a EICR it just coded c3

If I understand that correctly, you mean your Mrs has a new best friend who happens to be a female who is in a relationship with someone (a male) who has just purchased a property...

It happens mate. At the end of last year within 2 days I had an oven tripping one CU and a shower another for 2 different clients after changing them. Was lucky enough to find out while checking after upgrade but it doesn't change much because you still gotta tell them their 15 year old shower and 30 year old oven are just not quite up to scratch for the new RCD. I was lucky they were both decent people. I wouldn't stress about it to be honest mate. He's got himself a rather good deal to be fair! If he's gonna be like that, you're probably better off not having him as a camping buddy! I haven't done so myself but am I not right in saying as long as a cooker doesn't have a socket outlet it doesn't have to be on an RCD anyway as it is a fixed appliance?

Sorry yes I should spend more time to make sure what I put down is correctly expressed. It always makes sense in my head haha. My wife has recently made friends with a women, the women's partner is the landlord. Does this make better sense.

I know Essex has a reputation, you just jealous. When I was in the army, I brought some northerners back here, mate, they couldn't hack the heat. I will say they didn't knock it's reputation after leaving, all scoring.

Can't be bothered to read the whole thread so this may have already been pointed out. Going from your OP, it sounds very much like an element or elements is/are breaking down, it all may test out pretty much fine when cold, but as the element(s) is/are getting hotter, the IR is is reducing to a point where the RCD will see the resulting leakage and operate....
