We have an extensive, professionally installed, garden lighting system

trace a fault like this? Dig up the entire garden?

Change it to a good old fuse. They weren't so fussy. RCDs are a pain in
the arse.


Are you insane offering that as "advice" on a public group?

No of course you should not dispense with an RCD, *especially* on an outside
domestic circuit.
