Thanks for the advice guys - switch now sorted!

Hmm - so the black wire with red sleeve is another earth and should be connected to the same terminal as the green and yellow wire?

I think I'm confused now - earth is the green and yellow wire to the earth terminal on the new switch - check. Reds to L1 and L2 on new switch - check How can I leave everything else the same when I've got to blacks left over that I assume need attaching to somewhere?

Its the standard round one - white two way switch. I think we're on the right track - put the earths (green and yellow) in there and a terminal block to join the two black coms together to put them in the com?

Thanks for the info - there is an earth connection on the new bracket which I screw to the roof - so attach the earth there?
