It sounds as though you may be trying to connect an elderly, (or perhaps imported with foreign colour code cable), three phase device to a single phase supply.

If so, that can't be done.  You need on site professional advice.

I was told I cud join live and earth and just leave the other 3 . But someone else said that they will need grouping and attaching to one of the plug wires. So all 5 will join the plug 2 wires

 
You don't give any information about the purpose of this plug / charger / lead.. 

(other than its 42v)..

Without more detailed information, I doubt anyone will be able to help....

Maybe some links to the product, and/or manuals etc...

  :C

 
I'd guess the extra wires may be for something along the lines of battery monitoring or such like. 

It's seldom a case of just changing a plug to make a different charger compatible. 

A lot more info would be required
