Definitely. Used a previous version of this Volex at my last house, and
am currently rewiring with this very model. Comes with 40A, 4x32A,
2x16A, 3x6A MCBs, 100A main switch, 63A/30mA RCD. I need a 20A radial
and only 2x6A so bought an extra MCB at the same time. I dare say I'll
use the extra 6A sometime.

Busbar is supplied uncut and unfitted - just remember to make *two* cuts
in order to leave a gap between the RCD and non-RCD sides, unless you
are sure you only need 11 ways when you really should cut off the unused
bit of busbar. Also supplied with a "This installation or part of it..."
sticker and several printed and blank circuit ident labels.

The split load kit is supplied fitted, and it seems to be well enough
designed. It's the N feed from the main switch I'm having trouble with
- it is solid enamelled copper and snakes across the very place the
incomers have to be :-/ Don't forget to check factory fitted components
- the earthing bar was loose in mine.

There's a reasonable, though not overly generous, amount of wiring space
for circuit wires above the MCBs, but the knock-outs in the top face
(where most of my wires will be entering) are decidedly stingy. I've had
to "enlarge" them quite considerably. There are rather more knockouts in
the bottom face, and if you are lucky enough to be wiring from behind,
there are some quite generous holes there.

Only two things I don't understand:

1: Why the unpopulated version is exactly the same price as the one with
10x MCBs.

2: Why most split boards these days come with main switch at far left,
and RCD at far right. The previous version of this board I mentioned had
the RCD in the middle, and flexible split-load cables, so that you could
"read" the board left to right.

Hwyl!

Thanks Martin. Just what I needed to know.
Most of my wiring will be from below, so should work out OK.
As to the price, well must be to done with that extra space dimension
associated with mail-order!
