[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 419717, member: 8133"] Anyway, My guess at some of the code 2s (although I have used my crystal ball on some of these and presumed what I cannot know for certain, etc) * Lack of main protective bonding * The IR on the lighting, given the other readings, it says to me that if a fitting is taken down, the crispy insulation may fall off. Also is that to earth? without a cpc that suggests some kind of strange fault. * The kitchen light? - Unearthed flouro batten? * "Spark cover" from the wylex board is probably absent * Lack of 30mA RCD to sockets reasonably expected to be used for portable equipment outside * No safety stat to immersion when the header tank is plastic (though it could be galv in a place that old?) *4293 enclosure - fails to meet ip4x on top surface by a long margin? We perhaps should not get caught up in the weeds too much, its clear the recommendation is going to be to re-wire the place, anything else is just dragging out the inevitable, so best to avoid wasting too much time and money on the details!
