VERY IMPORTANT make sure the supply is off at the consumer unit and remove the relevant fuse or switch the trip to off before starting. Using a connector block join both blues together(thats the neutral leads) and then join both yellow green wires in a separate connection ie to each other NOT to the blues Connect one brown to common and the other to one-way.
Assuming the wires you are using have been properly installed that should be it

thank you very much for your help ianmunt i will do what you say all best if you were here i would give you a big kiss and bit more ,debbie from munchbox team.
For God's sake get an electrician to do it. If there is ever a fire and they can prove this started it you would be uninsured.
Glad to help,but as Bimbo cautions,if in ANY doubt get an electrician in
