    So this is what I did today.


    Installed a 100mA S type R.C.D. in a plastic enclosure before the metal consumer unit. Installed 30mA R.C.B.O.s in the consumer unit. The main switch is just a 100 Amp. double pole switch in the new consumer unit. Installed a new 4 foot long earth rod and 16.0mm2 earthing conductor. I do not know the condition of the original rod as it is 30+ years old and may be rotted away as it can't be seen obviously, and I ain't gonna pull it out to have a look. It is left in situ and connected though. Bonded up oil supply pipe with 10.0mm2 green and yellow cable. I was going to bond up the main water pipe as well, it is already bonded in 6.0mm2, but upon further investigation I found that the supply pipe coming in from underground is in plastic. Hoooorray. So I just left the 6.0mm2 in place anyway on the internal copper pipe. There are lots of old cottage type floor tiles and the floors are damp downstairs. Securely fixed all tails with nice plastic S.W.A. cleats to prevent movement. Tested the installation. All good.
