Hi,
I am a homeowner and looking for DIY advise.


I bought a outdoor patio heater and it came with a EU plug as shown in picture.

It works fine with a UK converter but the problem I have is it won't fit with the connector on in the waterproof outdoor extension cable I bought.

So, I am looking to cut the moulded plug off and replace it with a UK plug with 13A fuse.
The problem is I am not sure what wire color coding I would find after I cut it off and dont want to start the replacement before having some more information. Any guidance please help. Thank you.
