as I don't really understand the basics, and hence some of the advice
given. Meanwhile, beginning to regret switching from my old fuse-based
unit a year or so ago!

Was the work done by a qualified electrician?

Yep, albeit fairly young.

It just seems strange to me that the immersion is on the RCD side.

Is that abnormal? Why? Should I get him to switch it over to the other
side?

And since you said it replaced a
fuse based unit was the house re-wired at the same time?

No. And my 'extra' wiring (mostly done about 12 years ago) got the
predictable negative reaction ;-)

The Crabtree is a modern modular unit, but so far I've not found its
spec. I'll do so as soon as possible and report back.

If it's a current Starbreaker unit I've fitted several including my own
and they've been fine.

Yes, it is a Starbreaker, as you can see from the photo I posted
earlier.
