It's possibly better not to say how this occurred as it is a long

multitool causing a flash/bang, a buggered blade and irritatingly a
remarkably neat little cut in the cable.

So it's got to be replaced - the question is do the collective reckon
it is better to pull the old cable out trailing in a bit of tough
string to pull the new one in, or just attached the new cable to the
old and do the heave-ho ? *I know it's possibly horses for courses but
what;s the general opinion?

Having been stymied on that job - this is my daughter's house I'm
working on - I went off to look at a socket moving she wants and
that's going to have to a rewiring of the ring, so the same problem
exists.

Lot easier to fix whats there usually. Crimp or solder if you're going
to bury it, or add a new socket there and use screw cons.
