CU replacement advice needed

Also I wonder if there is any regulation on the length of earth wire allowed from CU to my spike? The meter is about 2m from the cu so a 3m tails kit will be fine but I doubt the 3m earth will be enough to get from cu to spike

That will be accessed and tested by your electrician.

I'm yet to hear of an installation losing the suppliers neutral only in all many years. Even if the neutral were lost, what hazard would it pose on a TT supply?

I vaguely recall mention of this being caused by someone t'iefing the supplier's neutral conductor:

Although I can't find any report that actually explains how the deflagration occurred.

I should imagine its a case of a row of properties on TNCS, neutral disppears and suddenly the water and gas services end up being susbitute neutral conductors, all you need then is a corroded bonding clamp in a property and it'll heat up, perhaps arc and bit and melt a nearby solder joint and allow gas to escape.
