Whoever fitted your new CU should have allowed for future use.
Why do you need 40A Cu in your garage?

 

[concrete85]

i used 40a as an example because there the garage cu i have seen on the bnq website, un fortunatley there are no spaces available, as this cu was fitted wen i had an extension built an they were all used up

Post a picture of your CU with the lid removed (Turn off first!!)

Yup - take the tails from the meter to a Henley block, then from there to the CU, and to a switchfuse to supply the armoured cable running to the garage CU.

You'd need to get a 2nd set of cables the same size as the meter tails (probably 25mm²) in, and you'd still need to go to a switchfuse unless your DNO would allow you to use their fuse to protect it and you wanted to run 25mm² SWA all the way to the garage....
