Thanks for all the help, but I don’t think even you lot could solve this !!! 

I had this great idea to bury the cable going to the garage while I was doing the footing for a patio. Buried it under 6 inches of hardcore and concrete, then paved the whole thing.

Just gone to connect the wires and found out I have used phone cable by mistake, knew I should have use conduit

It will still work ...

String will work if the garage is a bit damp....

If it’s just ordinary bt cable with no protection, it will work (for a while)

I redid it properly, with the correct cable and in conduit this time. 
The funny thing is that I didn’t even know I had any phone cable.

Best way solid core is awful on screw terminals

Good man, saves the agro further down the line

All done now, works perfectly
