How do I connect this to the mains

[#1]

Slight hiccough
Decided on the unit we wanted but as a final check looked at the installation diagram
Who would have thought it - the unit depth is deeper than normal by about 2" so it won't fit in my 560 deep unit - needs a 600 deep unit
Just goes to show - assuming that modern oven units would use the same cabinets was a mistake and could have been a very expensive one

[#2]

Out with the chisel then 
Best of luck with hunting for the right oven - You never know it might be less than 3kW

[#3]

It will be either a Neff or a Bosch but checking with a Neff dealer the one I was considering is being replaced with a new model this month
Not yet on the UK website but is on the Belgium one and doesn't look too bad so another slight delay - fortunately the present Neff unit is still working albeit with a rather noisy fan and no internal lights
Note that replacement cost for a Neff fan/motor unit plus lights including fitting is topside of £200 and probably nearer £250 which is why I am going for a new one

[#4]

That's one of the things I hate about manufacturers today, build something for pennies, sell for top dollar, and charge extorionate prices for replacement parts making it uneconomical to maintain and repair...
It's why I like old hardware, easy to fix, plentiful affordable spares, and keeps things out of the dump...

Try telling that to SWMBO new kitchen is required so perfectly good eye level oven, dishwasher and fridge all fitted are all due to be trashed

The new Neff has - wait for it - a Sabbath feature

Stick it all on ebay, someone's more appreciative SWMBO would probably love to have them at knockdown prices...

Or Freecycle if you're more 'community spirited' 
@Oldjim, you can make anything fit if you have a big enough hammer.

[#9]

Oldjim's an engineer so a big hammer is the only tool in his box.

There is a problem
The plaster is bonded directly to the wall (about 16mm thick and) - I have never heard of this before - the plaster is rock hard to the extent that when I needed to chase out a channel for the 30 amp feed to the cooker point I had to use a cutting disc as using a normal bolster it just bounced off.
You can imagine the mess that made in the kitchen
To correct strat - I also have a really big adjustable spanner

I wouldn't be without a pair of mole grips lol 

[#12]

No, not the dreaded 'Mole-wretch', be far the most efficient way to mis-shape any nut or bolt-head such that it can only possibly be undone using a ...
Mole-wretch.
Luckily I broke the jaws of my 'self-gripping plier wrench' years ago trying to undo a particularly stubborn bolt.

[#13]

Well  there you go 
Any "engineer" would tell you that mole grips or stilsons for that matter are not for gripping bolt heads but shafts or flat plates 

[#14]

Exactly why Mole Grips should not be sold to the young and inexperienced.
@Oldjim, have you tried something like this type of thing: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=sonic+cutting+tool&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=Palemoon:en-US&client=pal... ?  I'm sure they'll tackle most materials (with the correct blade) and, whilst still creating a fair bit of dust, a whole lot less messy than a cutting disc.

[#15]

I haven't but it looks extremely interesting but from the reviews it isn't really suitable for a cutting through really hard mortar
Having said that I can see many uses for it where light precision cutting is wanted
