For £1.25 you can buy a new one, might be the best approach.
If you have a digital camera and can put up some pics of the bits someone might be able to make a stab at talking you through it.
If you meant how do you re-do the wring connections into the switch that is a different question.

You wouldn't want to PIR this place then, largely DIY installation, some of it incompetantly done. Northing done particulaly neatly, some things not wired in the most strightforward manner, 'C' Shaped bungalow, can't stand up in any of the loft spaces, some loft spaces are a bitch to get into where the pre-formed trusses turn through 90 degrees, one part where not only is it difficult to get into, but its difficult to be in as well, loft split into two separate parts with two trapdoors and a small gap between them, all ceilings on different levels etc, cables randomly disapearing... tracing anything is a major undertaking.
Still - at least it's nice and cool up there at this time of year...Adam_151 said:
