might not be on a switchline ???? LOL

well in that case it opening and closing switches would have no effect.....then start at the furthes point on the circuit and drop out the phase....keep working back till it clears....then you know its on the one you`v just disconnected dont you...

Get the neon out, and the wand

Your both miles out, switch off all light switches, leave Lamps in, then switch on breaker or better still push in BS 3036, then switch one light switch on at a time until you hear a bang, easy, no need to get the test kit out of the Van, if your lucky the 3036 may bang but not blow, so you can pull it back out repair the damage and push it back in without changing the tin foil, whoops I mean fuse wire, you lads have to complecate things.

LOL !

damn 3036's !

discrimination is rather poor. put in a 30A 3036 once, unknowing of the dead short on the circuit only to have the BS88 100A DNO blow out lol

oh and good luck getting the fuse carrier out after !

But they can improve over time. What you put in is what you get out and all, I thought mostly army personnel doing this course ???

The thing is they don't improve over time, they are effectively qualified so they know best obviously, stuck in their ways, still doing the same bad habits. How can they know what good or bad? They haven't done 3-4 years with someone shouting at you if it's not up to scratch. Sorry I'm just bitter lol
