chill winston it’s my sense of humour

well after 3 hours on the phone and a lesson in electrics and using a multimeter....... all I can say is a massive lesson learned!!! And thank you so much for your patience and help! Looks like I’m in the garage tonight too Hahahaha thanks terry was a right laugh!!!

I have been in the attic and can not find a cable with red blue and yellow in it. So annoying as I should of just left it all same thing....

Yes pretty sure the fan used to turn on when Turing light on, but could turn the fan off with its own separate pull cord. What am I checking with a multi metre? I will go buy one now from screwfix if I know how to use it?

That’s the old ceiling Rose. I’m sure it was two blue on left with a blue jointing to light. Two red in the centre. Then two yellow on the right with a brown joining to light. I have wired this new light in the same way. And have tried putting the old ceiling Rose back but it just won’t work...

Yes two pull cords in bathroom, one for each. I turned the black lever off on lights on the fuse box. Wired in (which I thought was same way) new light went into garage to flip black lever back to on and it wouldn’t stay on

It’s been terminated for a while now into a block of three with a cable in each hole the same way as the extractor fan. The light was working fine. Then I decided to change to this large led one. Why oh why didn’t I take a pic of the ceiling Rose before taking all the cables out

That’s the extractor fan switch

I can’t find a isolation switch anywhere. The fan has been disconnected Due to tiles. Those three wires are now in a block. The light worked fine before I took the Rose off and tried to wire this new led one!. If I wire in just the yellow and blue from one cable into the new light it doesn’t...

This is the light switch pull cord

First pic is the ceiling wires. Second pic is the extractor fan

The pull cord switch for the light only has a black and a red and earth! If only everything was that easy :(

Ok. I have wired the old light bulb into the brown and blue wire but still trips the fuse? I am sure I have copied how I took it out. Could the red of had the brown cable coming out of it instead of the yellow? What does the T mean? Would be so much easier if could post pictures on here
