[QUOTE="binky, post: 559115, member: 490"] the two issues should be completely separate. If the PIR swop failed, it's either wired wrong, of there's possibly a manual override switch. as for the sockets, do you have a gas boiler connected to that circuit? That would also need switching off if you have. Tripping could be many things, socket screw rubbing a cable, damp in walls, steam in kitchen, sockets sprayed with cleaning products. You could try dropping all the socket fronts and looking for snagged wires, rust or loose connections, which can also trip RCBOs. If that clears the fault, replace one at a time and see if it trips again. [/QUOTE]
