Can someone recomend me some good 0 gauge wire, UK based

This is 4/0 gauge, Ive heard that electric cars use this and types similar for their vast battery banks.

JUST BUY THIS!!!!! Honestly all cars should com with two strands of this installed standard, LOLZ

Where did you buy that wire? And whats the difference between CCA and OFC?

Also would 1/0 gauge connectors like distribution blocks, cable reducers and ring connectors fit on a 2/0 or 4/0 wire?

 
Really nice quality 1/0 gauge wire is sometimes difficult to fit into standard 0 gauge terminals, SO I would assume NO, however I have not tried it personally.

CCA stands for copper clad aluminium, it is essentially aluminum strands of wire which are copper plated. Like TheUnderFighter said high quality 0 gauge CCA is capable of supplying 250A theoretically. However CCA amperage capacity like all wire diminishes in correlation with its length. The longer the wire the less amperage it can supply.

Because of the length you are wanting and your intention to upgrade I suggested OFC which can potentially supply more amperage, which you currently need.

OFC is an acronym which stands for oxygen free copper. In contrast to CCA, this type of wire is pure, or close to pure strands of copper which is a better conductor than aluminum, which ultimately enables the wire to supply MORE amperage, all else equal.
