^wise words of wisdom :wink:

well, from some of the answers I received I was given the impression that perhaps a few here had doubts as to whether I was calling in an electrician or not. If such doubts were true, I would like to think that anyone here who WORRIED ABOUT MY OR MY FAMILIES SAFETY would...

well, he asked what brands I already have, I have MK all throughout the house. he said I should stick with MK, or Volex would be just as good & said I could pick up a single FCU at Wickes or ScrewFix for about a Fiver. As far as price-wise, not sure I'd call "one" extra quid...

thanks for the reply :) yeah he is, I guess the recession must be pinching because when the missus insisted we pick the FSU to match the Kitchen, I said that he'll probably want to use his own parts. But he said it was fine as long as I was prepared to pop out & refund / exhange any...

securespark, the cooker is from currys and the website is usless, so it doesn't have that information - it is 600 mm tho :) coljack, thanks for pointing out the CCU, also for mentioning the cable size. Just had a look and the cabling has the brand written but not the size :( I'll keep that...

Good Evening Gentlemen.... Here's the situation. After the sudden death of our Electrical Cooker i've been nominated by the Missus to redecorate the entire Kitchen. Among other things this also involves INSTALLING a new Electrical Cooker and an Extraction Chimney. I've researched the...
