Do you know how its failed? some lose the these days, often plastic spring
through exposure to heat and cold, but others just lose the pip that the
latch uses. Probably not that easy to get apart. the former failure can be
often fixed but the latter is not so good. The old plastic engineering
problem again.
Does it have to have the protection on the socket, or would a plug in one
be OK? I've seen those about.

Have a two gang RCD protected metal clad socket in the conservatory which
has failed - RCD will no longer latch on. It is part of one of the kitchen
rings which isn't RCD protected at the CU - it feeds the washing machine
etc and other things which are left plugged in permanently. Needs to be
an RCD as likely to be used for things outside the house.

Dunno the brand - it came from TLC. Notice you can pay between about £25
to £80 for similar. Is this sort of failure common at the cheaper end?
