Best not to use a plug-in type RCD adapter if the consumer unit has its own RCD as it can interfere with the main RCD. If the main RCD doesn't work then that's a different story, one of those could be used as a stop-gap until the main RCD is sorted.

What an interesting thread. My fuse box is kind the sort that - if a fuse blows - I have to mend it with fuse wire. Always keep a card of various types and a small screwdriver in a tin on top of the fuse box.

If your fusebox is made by Wylex, you can buy plug-in MCBs (circuit breakers) that replace the standard fuse-wire type. See photo - this is recommended for your 5amp lighting fuses. Less hassle
