You can do it yourself. It is very easy, the terminals on the back of the cooker are basically just big screw down terminals. Just make sure there is a solid connection, don't strip off to much or too little insulation (if you're reusing the existing lead, cut it off and strip some clean, new ends), make sure you use the cable retention strap or whatever is in the new terminal block to stop it being ripped out if you need to move the cooker in future, pay attention to what colour goes where etc.
The cover for some of the terminal blocks on newer cookers is held on using screws with a torx head. Probably to prevent stupid people from doing it.

Ha. Haha. Hahahahahaha. Nope. (See attached pic of CU).
Just got to hope it is a 13A cooker. JL says it is. AO says it is ( http://ao.com/product/zoa35802xd-zanussi-electric-single-oven-stainless-steel-24790-45.aspx ). Just some of the datasheets on the Zanussi site don't agree.
Last question (I promise). If I did get a 13A unit that's replacing the existing one with a connector block on the back for the power (so the existing cable could be reused), would I (according to the regs) require someone competent to do that job? (I know I could get away with doing it myself, but that's not my question.)
