Hello, I wonder if anyone could help.

Dear Electrical Experts.
Hokay, I know the question sounds stoopid - but here's the thing. I've not had an electric kettle for awhile because they kept blowing the mains circuits - the last 2 went rabid, if you turned them on the mains instantly turned off.
I live in a one-room flat...

Hi all, got a new range cooker I’m connecting which comes with a 10mm flex connected. The outside diameter I nearly 20mm and won’t fit into the existing cooker outlet plate. Does anyone know of a supplier which allows for larger diameter cables?

However, the existing back box has top and bottom lugs ~135mm apart.
