(stevep) strung together this:

I have a Triton 8.5kw shower to install but already have a 7.kw in
another bathroom. I have an old consumer unit, with fuses, rated at
60ohms so it would appear that I need to replace it in order to add
another shower unit.

Erm, fuses are rated in amps. I'm not having a go but if you struggle
with this basic bit of information then you shouldn't tackle wiring a
new shower circuit.

Is this the only option and if so what do I need to get and do I have
to get an electrician to change it? Although I am reasonably competent
I have read of meter tails and breaking electricity borad fuses etc.
which puts me off somewhat!

I think it sounds like you need an electrician.
