and which gang works the hall light and is this a two way light and does that two way function operate correctly.
Looking at the picture the right hand section from the back of the switch operates the hall light and the other is the landing
If the answer is 'yes', I suspect you will have run out of options! - in which case maybe the landing lamp would need checking

As PBoD asked, does that hall light have 2-wat switching (i.e. are there two switches wihich operate it) and, if so, are both switches working as expected?
Kind Regards, John
yes there is another switch on the landing..but i haven't touched that one yet
Remove the cable in L2 right hand gang, and does it make a difference? Remember we are dealing with live conductors so do not work on it live or leave open ended conductors uninsulated.
If that switch is meant to control the hall light, you need to check whether it is working correctly - i.e. whether it can switch the light on when the new switch has switched it off, and vice versa.
Kind Regards, John
Could you take a look inside and take picture of core colours and terminal markings or note down and discuss.
ok..i removed the red cable from the right hand side L2 ( from the back ) and the hall light still switches on and off
How did u identify the live ?
You need to examine the other switch.
You need to examine the other switch.
This is the top landing switch
I used a neon screwdriver ( dont have multi meter )
Go on then which gang is connected to the problem switch?This is the top landing switch
Before we go any further, is the lamp/bulb in the landing light in good nick and has not blown?
