Ok. Thanks for all the superb help. Will join the old cable with 30amp terminal block and leave it a back box behind a blanking plate. Will then run it on to fused triple socket and then on to a final double socket...sound OK? :D

No, not a split ring ( :D). I think BAS is right, two radials, the other is an old socket in the living room. That would make the cable 4mm. (house built 1959) So I think I need to fuse down. The main problem is the damn short wire....just need to extend it then I could go straight to an FCU...

Andy- 32amp fuse in CU, two wires leave fuse, not part of a ring... earlier you said that 'spurs do not exist on radials' so why would I need an FCU here? Am I not just extending the radial on to an extra socket outlet? (assuming cable IS the same size) SJ

BAS- Will put grommets on I promise! :D Thats gonna need be a fused then if the cable is different size?

Thanks Andy, then that looks like imperial 2.5 stranded? PS: In my original post/query i missed typed and of course meant to say 30 AMP TERMINAL BLOCK, NOT 13! :roll:

Thanks all. Yes, of cousrse I could put a socket in! Didn't think of that. Then run off two "spurs" from there. The problem is that the original wire from the radial is VERY short so need to use the back box space to extend it with a terminal block, thus the need for the blanking plate. I am...

Quick one: Can I extend a radial circuit (4mm) with a 13 amp terminal block, with the block behind a blanking plate? If I use 4mm then I assume I will not need an FCU for a spur? Thanks, any help much appreciated.
