Something like that?

The new switch also needs an earth.

2 way means that 2 switches can turn the same lamp on and off. (Like a switch at the top and bottom of a stair case).
These would have wires in terminals 1 and 2.

What you may have is 2 gang, which turns 2 lamps on and off? (in which case only 2 terminals are used)

You have a combination of both!

Still doesn't work for some reason. I have switch the red cables incomings and the black too. But still not right...I'm always quite good with lights and plugs as soon as I get to this always multiple light switches always struggle...rather annoying.

@pete01 has shown how it was wired. I would not wire two-way in that manor normally, so next is show how the other switch of the pair is wired.
