Yes, I turned off the cooker. Sorry if not clear. I used the 13A socket next to the cooker switch to plug in.

Results of ramp test on 100mA rcd with all circuits off except for cooker radial which was needed for conducting the test since the test meter had just a 3 pin plug and no probes. Tested 4 times: 70, 60, 60 & 70mA Any comments?

I finally managed to trace the fault to one of the 2 pir outside lights while I was waiting for the rcd tester to arrive. It was a sealed unit but had condensation behind the glass. Not only that, when I cut the self-amalgamating tape from the connector block it was all wet! Anyway, I took the...
