My hookup lead was looking at bit ropey with the cable sleeve at the socket split so I thought I would seal it with some self amalgamating tape. The lead is probably 8 or 10 years old.
Before taping it up I decided to check the connection in both the plug and socket. Of the six screws, 3 at each end, one was missing completely and two were loose. Even so the lead was still working.
It might be worth a check on your lead.
