Hi, I'd be really grateful for some advice on replacing an old 2 way light switch with a new one... It's a 2 gang on the landing with one switch for the bathroom and one switch for the landing, which can also be turned on from downstairs.
The terminals on the back of each look different, so I got a bit scared and haven't attempted anything yet, but I think maybe in the old switch, everything on the right is for the bathroom light as there's only 2 wires in the little 'circuit' diagram on the back (sorry, not sure what it's called). I think everything on the left, with the 2 wires at the bottom is for the landing light?
I've labelled in the photos how I was going to wire up the new switch, although I'm not sure if I'd need to swap 3 and 4 in the new switch. Or am I miles away from getting it right?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
