Good point, replace the FCU with a single socket.Even possibly (would probably require n electrician's confirmation) instead of it.
Simon - any chance of a picture of the wiring inside the FCU (the box with the fuse in).

Indeed, or a double one on a new pattress.Good point, replace the FCU with a single socket....
Turn the socket upside down.Here's a wider image
I guess an electrician would have a better idea on the logistics of moving it all up - it's not even used that much, partlly because not many things can physically plug into it
Turn the socket upside down.
Per post#8, RS claim to have "1 (presumably 'new') in stock".They are discontinued, but it's not that hard to find unused old stock at reasonable prices...

I wasn't considering price - I was merely asking in what since the product is "discontinued" if RS are selling apparently 'new' ones?They do indeed, but at more than double the price of Ebay
... in which case perhaps they should by one from RS for 'free next day delivery', and still be able to make nearly 100% profit ...Rexel price is £27.81+VAT each, and stock availability for delivery is 12+ days, so they don't have any.
Apart from any other considerations, considering that (unlike in many other countries) the standard BS 1363 (Type G) plug is designed to go into such a socket-outlet with its flexible lead "downwards", why would anyone install any socket-outlet pair in such a difficult location ?I have a small conservatory extension area on my house which has some electrics installed.
There is a double plug socket of which the left side socket has stopped working - in that a plug won't go in anymore.
From looking in places like B&Q, this double socket seems to be some odd quirky small size compaed to what is available now.
It's about 130x60mm
Is this size non existant anymore, meaning I would need a whole new socket installing if I wanted it repaired?
Thanks
I had thought about that - this might be an odd question but is that allowable to do that? Like I know it would be a means to an end but would is be frowned upon?
