Ok so the cable in the bottom right is the feed going to the isolator. The red goes to the switched live terminal, blue to neutral and earth to earth. Therefore there is no wire going to live which it seems could be the yellow however it has not been connected and cut short.

apologies i believe the red arrow goes to the isolater and the green comes back from it

From the photo below, the red arrow cable comes from the light switch and the green arrow goes to from the isolator to the fan. The fan cable doesnt come from the the terminal box on the left that is for the standard lighting. Hopefully the pictures are better.

what bit do you need to see in particular, i can get a closer image?

I have just checked the plug and it would seem like i dont not have a live wire, only a switch live. I have checked the other lights in the same bathroom and they have a live wire, see blue circle. Can I take a wire from the live terminal and feed it into the extractor fan??

I will check them tomorrow, i suspect because the wires were loose that they arent connected. thanks for your advice.

Without physically checking this by going into the loft and finding the wires, can I do this by testing the wire using a voltmeter?

if the yellow cable is connected behind the wall can i use it as the switch live wire in the extractor fan and use the red wire as the live?

The left photo is the isolator, the yellow wires werent originally connected but i connected them. the right photo shows the bathroom light switch. Doesnt seem to be a yellow cable in the light switch.

thanks, where would i get that permanent supply from? could i not connect it to the yellow cable on the input?

so on my drawing the blue arrow is the input, red arrow goes to the lights and orange to the fan. I am assuming that the yellow coiled cable on the input is the missing wire that needs to go to the extractor fan to work the timer?

The other two cables go to the lights as I have a fan/light extraction combo (brown wire) . No i dont have one however i am happy to buy one. the red and yellow both go to the fan currently, red to live and yellow to switch live. Is the red not the permanent live? I copied the original fan and...

Afternoon, help very much needed. I have tried to wire in a new extractor fan, I have it working however the timer doesnt work. Looking at the wiring back to the where it terminates the live and switch live cable come from the same terminal. I can see that the wire used for the switch live...
