Is it a major problem if I cannot reset the RCD? Is there an easy fix or it needs replacing? and is it a DYI job or electrician?

Howdy all, the attached are coming up for sale at that Supermarket mob that sell 'stuff' as well. Has anyone got these or what say you? Would it just be a clean swap with deep cell or other things have to be changed? -- Edited by Dougwe on Wednesday 30th of March 2022 02:33:25 PM

I have noticed on a few Vans lately, { mine is a Jayco Freedom } there is what I presume to be a stupidly place ground/earth wire at the bottom of the door frame. It is unsurprisingly broken due to opening/closing of the door, has been broken for years by the look of it. Seems a silly place to have a wire and...
