Have a look at http://www.wppltd.demon.co.uk/WPP/Wi...telephone.html

and

http://www.adslnation.com/support/extensions.php

The external BT wiring to the master socket only uses two wires, called A and B. I'm guessing that the coiled up wires are connected to the extension sockets. To connect these up to the master socket you need to use the punch down connectors that are on the back of the removable lower part of the master socket.

The links that i've given you assume that the cable used is phone cable, if on on the other hand Cat5 has been used(ver common in new builds), then you need to take the front of one of the extensions sockets and make a not of what colour conductor goes to which punch down block. You then need to replicate this connection on the BT master.
