Kerch ing , Cheers mate , you’re the man , you where right , I owe you a bag of chips on me .
it was a double pole switch on the second intermediate . Switched it to an intermediate and it now works perfectly .
Thanks to all those for your efforts to help me sort this . Got there...
Cheers will do . Tried that with the new intermediate but will try it with the other when I get time . Must be something simple like that . Will let you know
Hi Kerching , tried a intermediate switch , wired as above .
Bit different but still something wrong unfortunately. Each light switch switches the lights on and off fine . But with the two upstairs switches is a bit odd .
If I leave the light on at one of the switches ‘then ‘ try...
Cheers guys , will do what you say. Seems to make good sense. Appreciate your kind efforts to assist me in trying to understand this . The drawing is correct, I took the plates off today and made notes , making sure I drew it exactly how it is. Will let you know.
Thanks , Yes I drew it as it is. Kerching. It all works fine apart from the what I've said above. Nothing has gone bang ever , and its never cut out at the main box.

I am happy for correction . Will send showing the...

bottom of stairs , top left , opposite right and a bathroom which has a switch to light bathroom and another for landing
Hi murdoc
four separate switches can work the lights
downstairs, at top, opposite , and outside a bathroom
at the top of the stairs bedroom,
opposite bedroom , turn right bathroom. All have switches and can control landing lighting in some way
Yes Murdoc, Two blacks two greys. And another core . The other switch opposite, two blacks two greys , and two reds .
in the middle one I have a red with the black switch live. Both wired same
The electrician who installed it worked on it many years ago, it was a major build. We don't live in the house, its a second home. Its not something you notice at once because if that light switch is set one way , the actual switch, then all the lights at the bottom and on the landing...
Yes Evans , but for the other lights to work normally , they depend on this one switch being in a set position. This switch works fine but you have to remember leave it that set position , or the other lights won’t work
