Although bad practice, electrically, my suggestion would work, and taking that the job is already an abortion, surely it cannot get any worse

Put the live brown into L1, the other brown into COM, and the two blues into L2 :wink:

A 9.5W shower will not give much output. Have you tried immersing a 100W bulb in the water? It would heat it up 10.5 times faster

remove the switch, replace backbox with one with four fixings (or turn existing one 90 degrees) and mount the switch sideways. :wink:

old colour cable is very useful for installing new circuits in your own house in december 2004 :wink:

Are the Australian regs exactly the same as ours then?

use a multimeter or other suitable test instrument and then you will find the correct cable to use

You may fix the problem or you may kill yourself. Why not do it properly?

It is not wired up /connected up correctly

There is the problem. If you connect live to the the one terminal and neutral to the two way terminal, where is your switch wire? BTW why do you have a neutral at the switch. Be careful, because if you join live and neutral you will create a dead short and blow the fuse or mcb.

Why not go the whole hog and install a copper busbar up the middle of the house and tap everything off it. This way you would only need 1 fuse at the cu. Future additions would then be simple

Try using the correct tool for the job

I take it that it was a cheap rewiring job?

Do you own your own test equipment?

Why not ask your sparky?. After all this is what you are paying for
