If the existing rose has its cover screwed back on and the the new fitting is fed with flexible cable from the rose then it is perfectly acceptable.
He has already said there is no room for the lid to stay in place.

Just to be pedantic,isn't there still a reg. that says solid core and flexibles shouldn't be in the same terminal? That rose only has a single earth terminal.
Thanks for that but I’m very much your average DIYer so not sure how to test this and sounds like I’ll probably need a multimeter.I think using the existing rose as a connection point is much better (and easier) than joints in the ceiling void. The most important thing is to test for earth continuity of the new metal lighting fitting, when it's all finished.
you mean you don't fix the brakes on mother-in-law's car?? a missed opportunity there, my friend. .DPG,
the point is, it's a metal fitting - need I say more? As for brake pads, I've done plenty myself (filthy job!). Able is the operative word. At least you can see it's done properly - given the knowledge and experience that is. Needs a quick road test to be sure though!
I let someone else do it these days - one hopes they use the rolling road tester!
Mark,
good idea - just don't touch the fitting till you've had it tested!
