the old db was rewireable fuses.the cooker circuit is not on the rcd side .every other circuit is fine. also when the rcd trips and then you rotate the cooker switch the cooker clock comes on and the neon on the double pole switch comes on (is that some form of back feed?) the cores seem to be clear from each other.

You should make sure that the neutral is not connected in the wrong neutral bar, because if it is connected in the neutral bar feedind of the rcd it will trip.
You must have crossed wires in the DB if your rcd is tripped

First thought is the neutral from the cooker is connected to the RCD neutral bar instead of the non-RCD bar.

as above the neutral must be on the rcd side, although why you are still getting any power on the neon and clock?? perhaps a neutral/earth fault on the cooker?

start by unplugging all your plugs and turn off anything that is on the rcd side of the board,give it as much time as it takes.if it is still tripping it may be a fixed appliance(immersion,cooker)if it is the cooker check local regs.and see if it can be taken off rcd by an electricain.disconnect immersion at switch.if it is still tripping it could be a cable fault,an electrician should find it easy enough.

the answers above seem to have it. your neutral is on the rcd .
