Crimps on Aluminium twin and earth cable.

I don't like crimps on twin and earth,  but this definitely wasn't a good idea!

    Looks like a bad repair from when it overheated at the fuse carrier. Probably best to rewire and lose all the aluminium cable and have a nice shiny new consumer unit. 

    Am I right is assuming that the red shield is the type that only accepts Wylex cartridge fuse carriers and Wylex M.C.B.s? If so, the terminal must have been the cause, either a loose screw or deformed loose aluminium.

    The first fault was the loose connection unfortunately badly repaired coursing a second failure to happen. 

    It is doubtful that the fuse carrier was at fault as the Wylex  cartridge fuse carriers or M.C.B.s have proved to be very reliable in my experience. The carrier was not a B.S. 3036 type.
