    Cable size for new oven

    if it's connected to a "cooker point" then what is the fuse / breaker rating for that circuit in the board? I read from the OP's post that there is no kind of fusing down going on so if it's fed with, say, a 32A breaker then it needs cable capable of taking that or some kind of local fuse rated...

    Whats the point of electrics forum?

    water can't kill you accidentally in your house but gas can, that's why you plumbers don't give out advice on gas fitting and why you say it's illegal to fit your own boilers etc.. ( I know I can't point out that it's not because it's against forum rules ).. Electricity is far more dangerous...

    not enough neutral bar

    A set of Henley blocks and a seperate "shower CU" with RCD is another option if you don't want to go to the hassle of a totally new CU.. It's not that much less of a hassle but does mean no rewiring of lighting etc to get rid of shared neutrals etc..

    Looks like two spurs off a spur,

    1 on the far left indicates an open circuit.. this would indicate that it's not a ring if you tested between the 2 reds at the board.. either that or the ring is broken somewhere... not good since 30A is not suitable for a radial.. try the 2 blacks that go with the 2 reds.. if it...
