Guys any chance of a pointer please? Will the Toolstation one do the job?

Take the old one into a local electrical wholesalers, they will/should have a few options, you can put them next to each other and pick...

That's what I'd do.

The key is the size of the hole in the ceiling - just get a new light that needs the same size hole OR bigger

Thank you. Ok, if I get something like the link below how would I connect it to the current connecter box as seen in pic? Would I just remove the connector on the new one then wire it into the old connector box?

I would say you wouldn't.

You would connect the house wiring to the new connector block - but it might be too small for the two cables so you might have to do something else - you will have to see.

That light has the connectors in an enclosure fixed to the light. By far and away the easiest thing to do is to connect the mains cables to it - why would you not?

As I wrote, it might be too small for two T&E cables.
