spur from a cooker circuit?

[mystyc]

Wonder if anyone can advise if what I have uncovered is a bit iffy.

Recently the cooker fuse has been blowing evertime it rains. The house as far as i can tell is water tight. However with this fluse blowing I have noticed that the garage power also dissapears. After some routing around in the bushes, I have discovered that someone has run a spur of the cooker circuit to the garage (across the garden unprotected but that is another issue!!)

The spur is a 6mm cable and so presumable ok for the 30 amp loading. It then goes into the garage into a seperate fuse box, one fuse is 5 amps and runs the light and the other is 30 amps and runs the socket (deffinitly dodgy but easy to sort)

Its is obvious the rain is getting into the outside cable somwehere I think and causing rhe short probably due to the cable being totally unprotected and rotting away.

Question is, it wrong to run a spur off the cooker circuit to a fuse box in the garage? If not I will get it replaced professionaly. However if it is dodgy, I am cutting it off and caping it in the wall!

thanks for you advice!

Answer: yes.
Cooker circuits are best left as cooker circuits and should not be spurred from unless it is for something like ignition for gas hob.
Out of interest what size output is the cooker?

thanks for the reply!
The cooker output size? - not sure, unless you mean the cable going to the cooker in which case its 6mm.
