    Wiring problem in the house.

    Whatever happens dont change your MCB to a C rated. A domestic household will never need a c type, if anybody suggests otherwise then they dont know what they are talking about. It sounds like you really dont know what you are looking out for so call an Electrician. Dont try fixing it yourself.

Maybe the 149bhp should have rung alarm bells with the...
