I don't like crimps on twin and earth, but this definitely wasn't a good idea!
Also blue inline crimps are only rated at 15 amps

The picture I deleted as it gave it away.
Nasty stuff especially on lighting circuits. Next question C2 or C3 for aluminium cables on a EICR?
It complied when it was installed, so obviously it’s still okay ?
Faced with repairing it I decided to use the spring clamp piano Wagos, this wasn’t the job it was just something that I found whilst doing the job.
Yep Wagos would have been my choice for repairing.
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.

Colin Haggett:
That's all right then innit? 15 Amps per leg if it is a ring circuit protected by a 30/32 Amp device.
Z.
Personally I don't like to see those kind of crimps on solid core cable.
I was taught that they are intended for multi-strand cores.
