Can you turn off the fan when the light is on?

Are you overlooking the fact that what happens depends on where the thermostat is. Edit - meant for John.

Yes, but not with everything else in the rest of the extension. That was all discussed in your other thread.

diameter 1.6mm radius 0.8mm cross sectional area of strand πr² 3.14159 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 2.01 sq.mm. 2.01 x 7 = 14.074 sq.mm. It means your measurement is not quite right - or the cable is between 10 sq.mm. and 16 sq.mm.

That works out to 14.074 sq.mm.

Yes, that'll be it.

Mmmmm. See diagram. Yep.

Solder and heat shrink or self-amalgamating tape.

Put reds in separate extra connector.

Can't be because that (imperial equivalent) is what you would have needed with a 30A BS3036 fuse.

Ok. A poor contact might cause overheating so - as long as it doesn't get hot it should be alright.

Why have you changed your mind? Well, yes they should be unless someone has done something stupid. Yes. Cables are very corroded. Strip them back until the wires are shiny copper.

The CPC(earth wire) should be connected at the other end. The yellow wire should also be terminated safely at the other end - or it could be doubled-up with the red or blue wire.

Yes - or any other make.

No, as you say terminate them safely so that they cannot touch anything or each other. It's not right. It doesn't matter why.

Pictures of the wiring on the two-gang switch please so we can see where each wire come from and goes to.

But the light works - so it's bound to light when those two wires are connected. I told him to buy a meter.

What will that prove?

@Tom079555 When at the shop getting another switch, also buy a cheap multimeter. You can't do electrical work without one.
