2 way switches

C'est comme un mystère de Poirot, n'est-ce que pas?

We have have to engage our little grey cells!
 
Thanks!

I'd got as far as bunching the feeds in and out, then I had to go away and commence dinner prep.
Well I must say that my initial thought with the number of cables, it was going to be the same as Taylor; too much for here

Indeed yes but the brilliant paint image did all the work and quite honestly it was easy after that.
I originally assumed there was another switch involved with the additional 3C&E and loop in/out at the switch due to the number of T&E. All we have to do now it await the reply and possibly assist with identifying the harmonised T&Es.
 
Thank you for help.
Mama says there was not a red little wire but it did work not right. We wire it according to directions and it works all, alas we dont find what 2 wires do, number 3 4 and 6 only one makes the 2 lights on, Number 7 operates the kitchen light does it matter? We put red tape on them.
 
When you say "red little wire", do you mean the wire linking two terminals on the right hand switch in the diagram?

Are you saying the switch with the Red, Red, Yellow and Blue is working correctly, but the switch with Red, Red and Black is not?
 
if we dont put the red little wire in the 2 end switchs dont to nothing, when we put it in the 2 end switchs work good. Then the 2 middle switchs work the end with 1 light and the 2 end switches work the end with 2 lights, so all good like before.
The wire number 7 operates the kitchen light is thay normal. We put red tape on wires number 3 6 when they dont do nothing

We realy pleased with the help here thankyou.

I'm glad we helped but you and Mama made it so easy for us.

You say cable 7 operates the kitchen light, yes this is normal for the electricity to come from another switch but there should be a switch in the kitchen for it.

If everything is working those 2 cables may not be used any more. Try turning every light in the house on at the same time to see if you have missed anything.
 
We have 2 switchs in kitchen like other room and all lghts in house now good.

Papa says thank you too.
