Hi I am trying to replace a ceiling pull cord, I have attached a photo of the new and old unit. I have 3 wires and believe that I have two allocated correctly, the green/yellow wire will go into the earth symbol on the new unit, the black with a red sleeve will go into L1 on the new unit. Not sure on the black wire? Please can someone review and clarify, very much appreciated.

No you don't according to your picture

Keep to the same format as originally. The markings on the old switch are exactly the same as the new one.

Red = Common or C
Black = L1 (or L2 it doesn't matter for your application)
Earth = Earth


Shh???
