Spot the difference..

Not too difficult I guess. Whilst there were new electrics going into the bathroom for underfloor heating, heated towel rail etc, it seemed like a prudent time to uprate fuse box with a new safer consumer unit.

Now for bonus points, spot the problem with the picture of the new. Did you get it? Downstairs lighting now isn’t working. The Heath Robinson affair of wiring through the bell transformer under the stairs has also been disconnected. Sadly that wasn’t the cause of the woes and despite a day of fault finding, we’ve been left without lights downstairs whilst the electrician ponders why the circuit keeps tripping out. Most likely suspect is a Neutral-Earth fault it would seem, but every light fitting and switch has been off and tested with no obvious fault found. I get the impression this is going to be a longer (more expensive) job that anticipated.. -gulp-..

The keen eyed will also spot the mysterious trailing wire to the left of the cupboard. This was previously connected to it’s own little fuse unit, but no, we’ve no idea what it was for either!
