External RCD/sockets

Steve Mc: 
 

That's why I am asking advice ebee.. and I thank you all. !! I  will want it all certifying eventually and with as little mods as poss. the external RCD double socket will be fed from the ring main via a FCU  i'm just not sure whether to just plug the Garage connection  or to hard wire it to the external sockets? 

Initially leave sufficient length of cable at the R.C.D. outside socket neatly coiled so that when the new consumer unit is installed it can be connected to that. I personally would use a steel wire armoured cable for the underground garden route, but your cable may well be protected from gardening damage if it runs under concrete or paving slabs for example. The underground cable route is best R.C.D. protected if it is not armoured  cable, for safety reasons.
