no voltage live neutral at sockets any ideas surley if lost 1 neutral would still have voltage on the other leg all neutrals are connected in main fuse box
 
Don't get obsessed with "there should be 230v down the other neutral",,, there isn't, you've proved it already.

Some Possibles.

1st neutral failed some time ago, 2nd failed recently.

The ring isn't what it claims to be and both neutrals from the C.U go to a J.B or socket/spur then off to the ring, but have failed at that point.

The 2 neutrals "connected" in the C.U are bad connections.

mmmm... the plot thickens
 
yes i agree with mdj am back there tomorrow do some testing the strange thing is though emersian circuit been replaced due to faulty cable and since then fault with sockets which were ok before the emesian circuit had been replaced
 
when the IMMERSION heater circuit was replaced, was it disconnected properly and taken out of the CU or was it just cut cores in side CU then removed?

if it was the latter, then perhaps youve cut the wrong cores and there wasnt Neutral continuity in the first place.
or the Immersion circuit was actually part of the ring

id suggest going back over your repair job first, as thats were the problem starts
