[QUOTE="Garry9, post: 560957, member: 38451"] I thought I might write something foolish when I wrote the post up. I meant to say the RCDs were Type AC (sorry!). I believe plastic boxes were considered absolutely fine up until a few years ago, and that there is no need to replace them with metal if everything is working ok. If I went ahead with an EICR and it concluded I needed a replacement, then clearly..... If I was looking to replace it regardless, with a unit that met all current regs (not sure anyone would do that unless there was a known issue or it lacked capacity), then I wouldn't be asking some of the questions I asked, i.e. retrofitting, EV charger capability etc. (I don't, obviously) The intention of my post was to be better informed ahead seeking a local electrician to look/quote. It has failed. [/QUOTE]
