Really need someones help. I thought I\\\'d have a really easy job of replacing a broken light switch.

Anyway, not quite so. The old switch doesn\\\'t refer to Common/L1/L2...but Common/1/2/3

It\\\'s a double light switch. There are two cores in the wall, both with 4 wires. Each has a RED, BLUE (with Red marker), YELLOW (with Red marker) and a YELLOW/GREEN. Both YELLOW/GREENs are attached to the back plate. In the old switch I had an additional piece of RED wire coming out of one of the COMMON holes and straight into another.

The new switch has 6 connectors - 2x COMMON,L1,L2.

What goes where here? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you post us a picture of the wires / old switch? Not quite sure how to do it from your description.
