Thanks - hoping for the former but the area of the house it's in is a dodgy mould filled extension seemingly dug into the side of a hill so I won't rule out the latter. I guess I'll leave it switched off until I'm back later in the week and try a new RCD. It looks like this but reading there are type A, B and C:
If that doesn't work I'll call someone.
Perfect time (the night before traveling 7 hours to a job) to find out the washing machine never finished the cycle and has locked all my clothes for the week inside it... (have since stuck it temporarily on an extension to unlock it and hand washed but still..)
edit: hang about, is any paperwork needed for changing? I.E. is it a spark callout regardless?
CYOA-
We had a similar problem, eventually traced the fault to a plug socket behind the washing machine. Turned out a slug had crawled in and electrocuted itself.

Replacing a circuit breaker isn’t notifiable, so DIYable if you know how not to kill yourself.
(In theory all wiring jobs need a form filled out and a test procedure followed but no one ever does it)
