Thank you. Before I do this today and just so it's clear in my mind are we assuming the first red wire on the left is the neutral?

Thank you, I will try that tomorrow but tonight I am visiting mum at hospital. I will report back with what happens. Thank you so much for your help so far.

Yes I bought her plastic switches and there will be no metal batons/light fittings used anywhere else etc. Ok some more pictures, first one is of the untangled wires, second one is what can only be described as a near expert level schematic of the wires and what they turn on, third is of the...

I took the pictures as a way of noting it down, my head isn't right at the minute due to the stuff with mum. I am normally a bit more careful than this. I will get a picture shortly of the untwisted wires and pop it on here and hopefully that helps. I only have an off the shelf multimeter...

My mum is in hospital and I wanted to put her some new light switches in before she comes home (hopefully). Her house was built around 1970. I am replacing a 2 gang 2 way light switch that controls the hall light and also the porch light and there is another single light switch at the other...

500W lamp, but still no juice when the lamp is disconnected (using voltage tester) I would of had a Megger 1553 if I hadn't of just been ripped off on Ebay, almost £600 down the toilet this week :( I have tried another FCU, I have tried the none switched, switched and also switched with neon...

The light only has L, N and E and it has no dials to set the walk distance or daytime/night time activation. Just a PiR with a light with only 3 internal connections. I have gone from the source (socket ring) into a junction box, out of that into the FCU then out of the FCU through the wall...

Checked everything outside, light is fine and so is the lamp, well they don't work still when I swap them with a new light so I can't see me having 2 duff lights and bulbs. The problem is at the fuse spur, I have power going in but it is blowing the fuse so obviously no power going out, I...
