that's got "builder" written all over it.
partly because of the ---- show of an installation, and partly because of the fact that the instructions haven't been followed, read or even moved from the box.

as above , that has 'builders wiring' written all over it
i don't imagin the rcd is fixed to anything, just the cable strain holding it in situ

Got a call to look at lights flickering/not working sometimes. Thought I'd start at the consumer unit, took the lid off and was greeted with this! Note only one conductor is clamped in the terminal of the left hand ring, and the main neutral from the second RCD to the right hand neutral bar was also undone. There were other problems with the lights including loose connections at wago connectors where 2 or 3 conductors hand be connected to a single port.

I got called to a fairly straightforward case - "when I turn on the outside light it trips the RCD".
The before L+N-> E IR test was 0.8 Mohms. I showed the customer, explained bare minimum was effectively 2 (or 1 if you want to argue) and now we'd disconnect the light and see what it jumped to. "It shouldn't be the light, I bought it new and fitted it myself". Ok, let's see.
Ah, factory fitted flex removed, T&E all the way to the light.... the problem wasn't exactly hard to identify:
Snip. >299 Mohms. New joint box. New light.
