Unable to reset RCD - Neutral side showing Live.

Thanks, both Sparx and Blakey. I found the answer. Disconnecting each neutral in turn at the CU, I found which circuit was faulty and traced it back from there. Even though I was working no where near a socket, whoever wired up the house put in a long (3m) diagonal spur cable into which I put a maso...
