Job done! Thank you so much SFK. Much appreciated.

Thanks SFK, Here's a picture of both sets of wiring coming from the wall. I have already posted a picture of the right hand side wiring. Here's a picture of the left hand side wiring. I've just noticed that the positions of the wires is a bit different between the two. e.g. the right hand side...
