isn't that only sp rcbo's?
I thought the dp rcbo's disconnected both?
Yes, it is just the single pole RCBO that suffers from this particular bit of less than genius design.

As far as I can tell, it's law now to have at least 3 stickers on a DB/CU.
Oh and that's a 'legal' law, as opposed to any other sorts.

Are there any useful labels for CU's, other than switch designation? (The one that is needed but often isn’t there.)
I sometimes think a couple of tamper evident labels over the lid screws would be quite useful.
Computer manufacturers tried that in the late 80s. It went to court and it was deemed an unfair trading practice.
I guess they had different reasons for putting them there.
I don't want to stop anyone else from opening it, I just want to know if someone has been in there if I get called back for any reason.
Anything involving insurance companies and "discounts" is bound to end up in a rip off! I can't wait 'till next year when I hit 50,my car insurance is £500 a year I've never made a claim and it's just a rip off yet there are loads saying save 80% for drivers over 50,some chance,same with part P when it first came out they said all sorts had to be done by a part P electrician and have paperwork to state this yet nobody went around counting the fittings in every house did they?so long as you have an EICR if you sell the property then fine.Certificates are all well and good if they are done properly,we had our council house done earlier this year and no way was it done properly,it took about 30 minutes,he took off no fronts from anything didn't check the bonding in fact he did very little,despite clear evidence that alterations had been done since the last inspection.I am all for safety but things have to be done for reasons of safety not just as an excuse to make money or use as a get out clause.Insurance companies are well known for using any little thing to get out of not paying,for example did you know that if you fit alloy wheels to your vehicle and don't tell them then they can and will refuse to pay out in the event of a claim,It happened to someone I know.
Weren't they on there when you bought the vehicle?:smiley2:
If they aren't on the original build spec which the manufacturer will have on file and referenced to the VIN number then it won't matter whether they were on there when you bought it or not, they will try to use it to wriggle out of a claim.
I'll bear that in mind when I put low profiles on the van. What about spinners?
Now you are opening up another can of worms over the load rating of tyres and whether they need to be reinforced van tyres
I was thinking of something with about an inch tyre wall, surely that won't need to be reinforced?

The height of the tyre wall has nothing to do with it, I don't know what van you drive but the limiting factor on tyre choice is down to it's load rating and the carrying capacity of the vehicle
I would imagine a van on very low profile tyres with any load in would give an awful ride quality
