If the cable on the left of that block is indeed the neutral (i see some blue) this is where the two black ones from the first pic go. And then the red cable that goes with the brown one is what goes with the far right on the block the one in the middle is going to be your cpc.
Are there any instructions or diagrams?
 
Thanks for the reply, so what happens with the other 3 spare reds?
No instructions or diagrams

the 3 reds that are in the centre block should be connected together, i/e 3 into 1 block, but not connected to anything else. the single red is your light "live", and the 2 blacks are into a block and supply your light Neutral.

so looking at your 2nd pic. the single red goes in the right. the 2 blacks in the left, earth in the middle, and the 3 reds connected togeher in a separate block, but not to the light.

before disconnecting the original, put a mark on the single red so you know what's what.

classic case of 1,2,3,4.
1. it works
2. it don't work.
3. light on permanent.
4 BANG.
 
Again those 4 reds are your permanent lives and these need to go together just like the last lot. Same with the cpc
 
Yes

All three neutrals (blacks) connected together. These connect to the blue conductor from the light.
