There is no eveidence that there are any faults, however, I can see where he's coming from an rcd as aposed to a rewireable fuse will limit both magnitude and duration of shock under fault conditions should one arise (it only takes some one to catch a cable while hanging a picture etc), and thus is inherently safer to upgrade. But as I said there is no requirement (as yet) to condem a bs3036 rewireable fuse.

There is no need to change a board just because it has requireable fuses, there are still disconnection times for rewireable fuses in the regs, it is highly recommended you change the board if it is wooden backed as it does not meet fire ratings. the problem with supplying a price on a board change without seeing a job is that there maybe other issues that need attention. As some one has already pointed out there could be neglegiable faults to earth that do not trip an MCB but would trip the RCDs that come out with 17th edition boards. There is also the issue of earth bonding to gas and water services which my be undersized if even present at all. On top of this if the installation is pre 1989 (which as you describe from the board it may well be) then there is also the chance that the lighting circuit(s) are not earthed as this did not become compulsary before 1989. An inspection and test, or an Electrical Installation Condition Report as it is now called under ammendment one of the regs would flag up any of these issues. if your landlord would like to get in touch i'd be more than happy to take a look for you.
