    Ask him to produce the EICR before paying the £150.

    earth bonding to water

    Drivel, boilers cross bond any pipes anyway, so would be earthed via cpc and gas bond.

    Will a new metal CU be mandatory or advisory

    Looks like you inherited a bit of a mess, I would get a full inspection done. There's still no need to change the board, but...

    Adding another circuit !

    Sounds ok to me, can you fit another MCB into the second board rather than jam cable into terminals?

    Electric test fail.

    Dropping dead is an inconvience to most customers, as most don't really care about your health. A point I've made several times over the years to people working far too many hours. Got to make time to sniff the flowers 🌹🌹.

    I have kept on customer, a school I do work for. It suites me as we are always home during school holidays.

    climate change is natural?

    Old land rovers must be one of the most uncomfortable vehicles ever made. Went all the way to the Lake district in a Safari version many years ago - never again 😀

    So keep a nice classic in the garage, and run around in an EV 😁. I love steam engines too, they feel kind of alive.

    Being a bit of petrol head myself, I know where you are coming from. Can't stand automatics either.

    There were plenty of incompetent sparks before part P, hence it was introduced.

    Fair enough.

    Electric test fail.

    Your fuse holder says 60/80 amps so 16mm tails would be sufficient.

    Aiko built in shade compensation

    Looks like it would be good for bird poo or leaves on the panels blocking off cells, so an improvement on standard panels, but not a cure for hard shading issues, or they would demonstrate that.

    climate change is natural?

    Just spotted this. Seven countries now generate 100% of their electricity from renewable energy https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/renewable-energy-solar-climate-targets-b2529461.html

    They are also now self sufficient in renewables for domestic energy, and are working hard in industrial. India had announced a new solar farm 5 times bigger than Paris. We are responsible for 3%, because if the carbon footprint if all the stuff we buy in. Stop buying stuff, just look at all...

    climate change is natural?

    Things have improved in 10 years. Balance point used to be 70,000 miles for an EV to be greener, I suspect that has dropped too. Agree The car does around 3000 miles a year, not a lot, Very much my philosophy on life in general - being tight fisted is green 😀

    climate change is natural?

    Going green has saved me a small fortune, but what we really need is the government to create the conditions for change, eg removing the block on onshore wind, giving the same tax breaks to green energy they give to oil and gas, promoting micro nuclear, promoting investment in batteries etc etc...
