Indeed I could.

However I feel that if you need to ask this then perhaps you would be better getting someone in to do it for you in the interests of safety.
 
Can anyone tell me how to wire up the picture I have added

I agree with ot
Yeah but I took it apart some months ago and have now forgot how to wire it back up
With no electrical Quals, how much practical hands on, tool using skills do you have? normally putting a plug top on is something most householder should be able to do, this job however requires, from looking at it at least one specialist tool that house holders won't own, namely a crimp tool for the live connection, hence the reluctance to advise.
 
OP you have been given good advice previously. You are terminating the cables incorrectly, and potentially could prove fatal. Put that in the recycling bin and buy another already suitably wired. Or take that to an electrical store and have it properly terminated.
 
the only thing wrong that i can see it that the thermal cut-out is by -passed. otherwise ot looks right, and make sure the cable clamp is tight when you've sorted the 2 browns out -- one to each side of the cut-out. it is a cheap and nasty reel however. and from the pics we can't appraise if the shutters are OK.
 
As Tel said, the cut-out has been bypassed. And the connections to the cut-out should have proper terminations on them. May be nest as advised above to get someone to check it out. Daz
