I'm tempted to wire in the heavy duty supply which must be for the boiler element, and plug in the 13A which I assume must be the pump and the control circuits/board, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I should do with the multicore- any advice please?

the cylindrical 'connector' looks a lot like a rotary selector switch.
try and draw out where the various wires go and if possible identify them on the faded circuit diagram. post it up.
possibly the multicore may have powered a top mounted grinder?

Possibly- this is a better shot of it, what confuses me slightly is that it looks to have never been terminated:

I'll start tracing and drawing, as you suggest.
I was just tempted to plug it in and see what happened- but did not want to do that before working out what the third lead should connect to.

What could possibly go wrong if I put my wellies on first?

That's the spirit! Anyhoo, we need a clear version of that schematic for true guesstimation.

don't encourage the fucker - we'll have 15 bloody pages of 'im asking what this wire is, what does the switch do like some soldering iron wielding rain man
for the love of god - have you not seen what he's done to the 'any questions answered thread!!

I don't know, I'm not allowed to ask questions in the AQA thread anymore so I come here, only to be turned away again.
Boo.

Actually its a piece of piss.
(4) is your heating element, in top of big copper drum thing. It is connected up by six fat wires to number (3), which is presumably that cyclindrical thingy ("ceramic terminal box") you mention. If the mulitcore is coming out of there, it leads to whatever is conveniently faded out of your diagram, which is either not important, or safety critical, ha.By the process of deduction, it can only be the (2) pressure switch,the (1) main breaker (neither likely as they must be within the machine), or an auxiliary connection as RG suggests.

the faded left hand side holds the key for external cabling arrangements
item 9 - cable 6 cond...?

may come in handy if level control or other bits need replacing as it contains reference numbers.

sob. I thought I'd found a, sob, safe place. A place away from, sob, all the questions…

Thanks for the info Olly and Rive, to spare BDW the pain of reading any further posts about my coffee machine I'll start another thread about tinkering with it, time will tell if Hippy will merge it back into this thread.

what the inside of dammit's boiler might look like:
That's if you're lucky, I was pulling handfuls, probably about 2kg, of limescale out of mine.
My first thought (not having looked at that diagram) is the multi-core is optional 3-phase, the 13a is for the pump, as the element runs close to the capacity of a 30a cooker circuit and an espresso pump starts with quite a whack (hence the big capacitor they have on the side) and could trip the breaker, though I can't see the pump - is it external?
The drum thing is the power switch - position 1 for all the systems, position 2 includes the element.
The wiring may well have been modified over the years. You need to take all the casework off and have a good look around and check it against a proper diagram.

Well, I've got almost all of the wiring diagram.

I'm in Spain working for a week and the coffee is total shite. Lucky I brought my Hario grinder and Aeropress then!

just tried my Kopi Luwak. Can't say I'm that impressed. Fortunately it doesn't taste like sh*t, which was an obvious possibility.

All of these connect back to this drum shaped item (upper/middle left):
