I have a two way dimmer switch, that is no longer working (nob broken).
When I replace it with this module
https://www.toolstation.com/wessex-intelligent-led-dimmer-module/p39759
The dimming works but the two way no longer works.
I copied the connection from images below.
Attached also diagrams from the instructions.

Any ideas what I should do?

Thanks

Without seing how the old one was connected then hard to tell.

However the module you have purchased is an odd choice nowadays with most lamps available now being led

I believe the photo is of the original, the link shows the new LED compatible dimmer from Toolstation.

The dimming works but the two way no longer works.
How did you attempt to connect it up?
One of the reviews mention the possibility of confusion over connections....

Thanks for the help.
On the original post is the old wiring.
Here is the new module with wiring.

Thanks for confirming.
Your original switch has two modules - try swapping the new one for the one on the other side and see if it works with that wiring - if that makes sense!
 
Would like to use the new module as this eliminates flickering on led lights.
Should I just be swapping the L1 & L2 connections?
