Ok, just clearify (sorry!) is the wire currently in com (the red wires) my live wire and black wires the lines? So Id be putting both red wires into the same hole? Thanks for all your help!

hi yes it did here is copy thanks

No there was no link, theres two sperate red wires and 2 sperate black wires. thanks for all your replys by the way

no Idea it is defently a double see.

Hi No the switch is a doulbe
