Default Replacing fusebox with circuit breaker?

My house has a fusebox. This is a first for me, I've always lived in
places with circuit breakers before this.

So, this leads to questions:

- Is there a good reason to replace the fusebox with a circuit breaker
("consumer unit") - convenience seems like the obvious answer - but I
don't want to do it just because its unfamiliar to me

- Is this something that one might remotely consider doing oneself or
is it just too dangerous to attempt?

- Is there a good www guide to UK electrical code relevant for DIY-
ers?

Thanks again,
Dave
