As title. No prizes for the first correct answer. DSCF0194.JPG
 
ive just noticed the earth bar? or lack of a decent 1. the main earth looks small too. Also the boards are missing the covers!! the live from the meter to the henley is labelled as a neutral.
 
main earth to top is there one?? c.u tail marking, green sleeving wee plastic covers missing from bottom c.u NO single MEANS OF ISSOLATION looks like 16mm tails doesnt look as if the Bottom neutral is double insulated Earth to the MET looks dodgy as well o the carpet threashold bar has been damaged when it was lifted and may require straightened out before refitting

Take it easy mate. Youre making the rest of us look bad.
 
OK. the mistake is just the incorrect marking of the L tail from the meter. (well done everybody). was done by meter fitter this year. the earthing arrangement is from the late 60's, so was compliant at the time. (i put the temp. MET in overnight as there were 3 cables squashed in a 30A choc block and i has dissed them to get a Ze etc). the cables from the henley blocks are wired correctly. the CU covers are off because i took them off prior to strip down. fitted 13way starbreaker board today. only a couple of minor faults to rectify. still took me 7 hours with testing, though. i'm bloody knackered.

Quite right mate. Rushing might save you ten minutes on the job but ittl cost you hours later on when youre putting right what you missed
