2 gang light switch

[col_e_wobble]

HELP!!

I have a 2 gang light switch in the kitchen where one rocker controls the ceiling downlighters and the other controls the under-cupboard small fluorescents and the downlighters in glass door cupboard. The problem is that when both switches are off they are in different positions which I find very annoying. The switch is wired using a 3 core and earth(not used as the idiot electrician who did the work assumed that as the property didnt originally have an earthed lighting circuit there was no need to put one in when upgading the circuits!!!!!)

The switchplate is fitted in a dry lining box so no earth teminals.
Wiring is as follows:

TOP COMMON: Red
TOP L1: Nothing
TOP L2: Red link wire to TOP COMMON
BOTTOM L1: Yellow sleeved Red
BOTTOM L2: Nothing
BOTTOM COMMON: Blue sleeved Red

Could someone advise me how to rewire the switch so that both rockers are in the same position when both sets of lights are off!!

I am quite happy to buy a new switch if that will help.

On the switch that is upside down swop the wire from L1 to L2 or vice versa.

Thanks to Spark123 - a perfect solution!!

My rockers now live in harmony in the same position if they are either on or off!!

However, you urgently need to ensure that the cpc is connected at the other end of the cable to the switch.

There should be a functioning earth conductor available at all junctions/points in a circuit.
