[QUOTE="HappyHippyDad, post: 558432, member: 38086"] Good morning all. I have just done a small job, during which I noticed all the cable is imperial cable (meaning 50+ years old) No green goo. Global IR test 0.1Mohms (L/N - E). When do you guys suggest a rewire? The 0.1Mohms may well just be rust/rodent damage/damp etc etc. If I fix the fault and the IR tests are >1Mohm, I would then suggest to the customer that they start considering a rewire, rather than saying they really need one. Is this similar to what everyone else suggests? [/QUOTE]
