hi! yes i have selected a Bush Dhbet50w cooker from argos . so i guess the wiring in the socket is normal ?. I just match live to live,earth to earth, (Even though there are two cable their already) and neutral to Neutral
 
How does the current rating of the new oven compare to the old one?
 
When you get your new cooker, it will not come with cable that connects the cooker to the wall plate.
See product manual

So, you need to keep the existing connecting cable.
Firstly, turn off the power to the cooker circuit (is there a switch on the wall?) and disconnect the cable at the cooker end.

Insulate the bare ends of the cable. Then all you need to do is to connect the L N and E conductors to the new cooker.

Please please make absolutely certain that the power is off before you do anything. Use a test meter, or two-probe voltage indicator to make absolutely sure.

Be sure that it's a new one if you buy Fluke

Fluke Corporation has identified a safety issue affecting certain Fluke T110, T130, and T150 Two-Pole Voltage Testers (“T-Pole Testers”).
As a precautionary measure, Fluke has decided to voluntarily recall all of these products and provide affected customers with new and improved equivalent replacement products.
Follow the link below to see if your Fluke tester is affected by the recall and what are the steps you need to take in order to have it replaced:
Fluke Two-Pole Tester recall information
 
It won’t come with cable. Keep the one you’ve got.
 
Yes. Page 16. You’ll need the old cable. Or treat yourselves to a new one.
