no but I could get one

I actually took off the plastic backing earlier and gave that a try - as you guys said two are wired to the LED and the 3rd (middle one) to the top left and I doubt I could get a picture close enough for you to spot anything:

Ok it didn't work so I just want to thank you guys for all your help. I have one final question before I leave you in peace - do all touch dimmers work by the same principle of the copper contacts? If not then do you know of a good site or particular brand that is likely to give me a more...

Ok i am no electrician (I bet you couldn't tell) so I don't just have a choc block lying around but I will try moving the box out a bit tomorrow and if that doesnt work then thats it.

That would seem to make sense as when I took out my old switch it had extra long screw into the rear box (I have had to use these again as the screw supllied with this one were far too short) and the screw hole on the left hand side is a bit wobbly meaning i can pretty much pull the screw out...

Hmmm the plot thickens. Assuming your theory is right then how do I go about fixing it? And to passerv in that case I do have an earth wire in the rear box - it is connected to something in the bottom right corner.

Wow so it's all down to my body (maybe)! TBH all the electrical terms just passed over my head and it seems the solution is not one that's particularly easy to find so perhaps I'm just better off getting the normal dimmer.

No the LED is actually on the switch plate which just clips onto the frame on the back. The LED is always meant to be on (check the lsiting in 1st post) when the light is off but it is always on no matter what - I have attached a few pics: This second pic is the back of the...

And how would I go about doing that? May I also thank you for your patience in helping this poor noob - even with my lack of experience in such procedures I was sure I could manage such a simple switch over.

Ok i have re-installed it and it's definitley only the middle pin that works - although the bottom was working for a while earlier

Yes with the switchplate removed it works fine with only the middle contact pin being used. Actually I've just given it another try and it seems both the bottom and middle pins are used. A light push of either pin turns the light on and off and then I hold in the other pin to use the...

Yes I did that before I came here and this is the only response I got: The led is always supposed to stay on. When the light is off. Try installing it again and see what happens. Let us know I'm sorry for bothering you guys with such a mundane question but I wanted to see if there...

I recently purchased and installed this item from ebay...
