Only half my new electric hob is working

I think the OP needs to watch the following:

Or better still, get someone who knows what they're doing to sort it.

I can't be sure without seeing the original pics and wiring diagrams but stowed at the bottom left of the connector box in the new pic there are a number of metal/copper pieces. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't these used to bridge the terminals when using a single phase supply, eg, you insert the live wire to live 1 and use the link to connect to live 2, the same for neutral and the earth just goes straight to the earth connector.

No, the OP appeared to have the 'live' and neutral to the right terminals in the original picture, and had probably got the earth right, but we couldn't see it.  It either needed a terminal tightening, or the hob was faulty. (although in truth it needed to be rewired from scratch)

For the avoidance of doubt there was nothing in the original image to suggest anything should be connected to the terminal marked '1'.

The copper parts probably are the bridge which seems to have been removed from where it was, and have been stowed as you say.

I do hope the OP comes back to update the thread....  so we know he is still alive at least. And hopefully that a professional electrician has got the hob working at last.
