Electricity meter is running after I've turned the electricity off at the mains

It would appear that I'm unable to post links to images due to being a new user. Anyway, there's 4 wires / leads coming from the meter - 2 of them to a black box within the meter housing box and two grey leads presumably going into the house. The CU doesn't seem to have any external wiring that i can see.

Hi,

you should be able to post a pic using photobucket or Tinypic, then use the wee postcard icon.

I think you need to investigate that black box. Are all your electrics working after you switch off at the CU?

Hi - it still won't allow me to post even with the postcard icon - just says that i'm a new poster and would-be spammer..

I uploaded them to imageshack - they're there - but forum rules appear not to allow access..

Electrics did not work throughout the house when all switches in the CU were switched to the off position.

Hi,

if you put the pic links up with gaps/dashes somebody will post them for you.

Ok, so we're back to that black box then. If there is no main switch on it then I can only assume some sort of phase correction device.

Was there a previous occupier or have you occupied the property from new?

A closer look at that black box might be useful.

I'm beginning to think you might need a professional in to remove the main fuse and disconnect that box
