Replacing fuse box with consumer unit FAQ

There is a fault in the neutral of one of the cables going to my six way fuse box. To find this fault I am likely to have to remove the fuse box so that I can inspect the incoming cables and maybe replace one of them. This makes me wonder whether I should replace the fuse box with a modern consumer unit, probably 8 way. Can anyone recommend a suitable unit. One of the problems that will inevitably occur is that the house wiring cables will be to short. So ideally I would like a unit that has all the terminals close to the cable entry point would be a bonus.
