[quote="mdemetri2"]Ok I have tried to extend the Neutral wires, screwing the original cables into a 30 connector block (one for each wire) then used the some blue neutral wires to connect to the other end of the block - again one for each cable - then connected these to plug socket.
However, the fuse box keeps tripping for some reason. When I take the cables out of the socket everything is fine.
Any suggestions as to why?[/quote]

when the socket plate is screwed home into the metal
or plastic housing ( whichever u have ) , then the terminal
block is compressed.
IF the metal of the terminal block )
is touching , any of the other conductors ( live , EARTH
or neutral )
THEN a fault will arise.
ISOLATE MAINS POWER , make sure it is off and
look for signs of compression and fault on the block
tape up with insulation tape and refit moving the block
to give it more room in the space availeble behind the
face plate.
