2.5mm is a bit hefty for a 3kW oven and is not really designed to connect into a 13amp plug, more for connection to 20amp and above switches.

Re: Oven
It is hefty, the main problem being, I only have standard insulation strippers, so, I have to form a slit in the insulation with a craft knife, then peel it back, good job I bought more of the stuff than I need, I'm back there this afternoon, so as Nom suggested, I'll take a photo.The next pressing problem is the Hob has to be changed, before the Oven can be refitted, this is Gas, in essence the job is simple, the take up point is in exactly the same place on both hobs, and there is an isolation valve, about 100mm back form the supply elbow, but, in years past, I did a lot of my own gas work, but would with current legislation, I would be loath to change it myself (on someone else's property) so, I asked the Heating Engineer across the road from me if he would swop it for a £40.00 bung (5 mins work) I have waited a week now, not wanting to hassle him, but as yet, no go.

Re: Oven
The first picture is of the clamp, the second of some type of screw holding the cover plate on, it seems to be a crude headed crosshead thing, my electrical straight blade screwdriver bridged the slots but was not up to turning it, the third photo is of the gas connection.
That screw may be a problem, these are probably pretty standard on these casings
