Edited photo because I didn’t want to show who’d done the work, but this is the 2nd consumer unit I’ve Come across that he’s done that’s a total bodge. Even the labels didn’t line up with the correct mcb.

I came across another consumer unit installed by an “ electrician “ that I posted a previous photo of his work on this forum. How many faults and non confomance can you see? https://postimg.cc/gallery/3cfo2fzq0/

I remember tallow very well and was it called tuffnell that was used in motor terminals. Also remember rawlplug tools, hit it with the club hammer whilst turning it at the same time, and the pyro stripper that was like a sardine tin key, what a godsend when the joistripper came out.

Sorry I can't help as it was 27 years ago since I did my AM2, so I'm guessing things have changed since then. Good luck with it though and I hope you pass.

The thing is I took your advice, are you saying I shouldn't have?

Also, do you think I did the correct thing by refitting the plastic pendant?

There's banter and there's bullying, what you did on that thread was the latter. I stated on that thread 10 times that the customer asked me to fit a metal consumer unit , yet you still proceeded by saying that I should have reconnected the plastic consumer unit. You also posted a few snide...

Come on Prodave have you nothing to say now, you was very vocal last night?

Essex was actually one of those who gave helpful replies on the other thread.

It seems the wolf pack have gone quiet.

If you would like to throw any more insults at me go right ahead, I don't mind you know. After all, it says more about you than me. Perhaps you could get your friends on here to join in.

Thanks for letting me know. I shall sleep better tonight now.

Ive also had strange day today as well, customer phones me she's bought a brushed steel 3 arm light fitting from John Lewis can I go and fit it.  No problem says I, get to the job there's an existing plastic pendant in the lounge thats what I want replacing with the new light fitting she says...

I shall say it one last time and hopefully it will then sink in. I will try and say it in the easiest to understand way possible. The customer wanted me to fit a metal consumer unit. It had nothing to do with any form of fire resistance and I really don't know why anyone thought it did. I have...

I can't seem to get through to people, so I'll leave it here now. Customers happy and I'm happy. That's all that matters. I'll leave you lot know until your next prey comes along. All the Best and thanks again to those who gave genuine helpful replies.

I haven't got any photos of the new one, but I am going back next week so I will take some and put them on here so you can all pull it to bits. I provided enough information for you to answer my original question, as I managed to get some genuine helpful answers. It was just you and the usual...

Again, I have never said a plastic consumer unit wasn't ok, and I have never admitted that the board needed to be changed because it wasn't compliant. You seem to be great at putting words in my mouth.

Yes, I was the second person to charge them but I haven't charged them twice, there is a difference. Are you seriously saying the work I carried out served no purpose? Again, jumping to conclusions without knowing the full facts.

Yes because that is what they wanted me to do. Is it not sinking in yet? If I post it a few more times will you get it then? Please let me know which part of They wanted me to fit a metal consumer unit you are struggling with and I will try to help you?
