[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 555694, member: 6969"] The meter tails through separate holes is fixed by taking them out and putting a hacksaw cut between the 2 holes then replacing them with the correct size. Sounds like a wrong make MCB has been fitted, simple to swap for correct make. The more worrying thing is no ring continuity. Rather than find the fault the tester suggests a smaller MCB to make it a radial circuit. That would make me doubt the integrity of the tester. If you really can't find the cause of the broken ring, I would be splitting it and making it two radial circuits. Unlike a car MOT test where the tests required are well defined ant the testers are properly trained, An EICR is much more subjective. What codes has he given to these faults? Only a C2 or C1 needs fixing, C3 is advisory. [/QUOTE]
