Friday night and the downstairs has gone.
I've checked the fuse box and the middle RCD switch won't stay up. The other one rests at the top, as it should, but this one just sags down to the middle. The testing instructions say to see which of the MCB switches trips it when you turn it on, but you can't, because even with all six of the MCB switches off, it still won't stay on, to be tripped. It just stays off.
We think mice have nibbled through something major. Does that sound likely, or is there something else we can try? We've tried calling our friendly electrician but he's not answering (it is Friday night after all), and we can't even cook or anything.
Any help much appreciated.
