So daughter phones (again) Dad, my electrics is tripping, if i leave it off for 10 mins then i can flick the rcd back on and it will last 10 mins before tripping again. So off i trot. I won't go through all the testing this and that but, finally removed some boxing around the boiler, and found the wire providing power to the boiler wrapped around the heating flow pipe. Well you can guess the rest but sorted now. fingers crossed that was the only problem for a while.

It does highlight the benefit to have an all RCBO cu. Having the "boiler" on it's own circuit would narrow it down very quickly. Even to the point of the person "phoning" can easily convey what circuit is tripping.

Totally agree- minimising grief, good design
