Long story short, trying to do a better job than the bodge-it kitchen
fitter from a few years ago and wondering why I bother.

Swapping a back box and socket, the earth in the 2.5 T&E has broken and
i'm about 2 inches shy of the terminal.

I could put another socket below on the good part of the cable with a
new piece of cable between the two but i'm not sure i'd like how that
looks.

What are my options for joining a new piece, crimp, chock block, wago?

FWIW I could 'fix' this and bury it in a way that nobody would notice
without fairly major renovation but i'd rather it was 'right'.

Ta.
Solder, as long as you can do it without melting insulation on other
wires.


Since it is accessible, just use a single section of a choc-block
to join an extra bit of CPC ?. machanically twist the two ends
and use the choc-block as a 'crimp'

(assuming you don't have a decent crimp).
