It is a waste of money and time to randomly change things without ascertaining if they are faulty.
 
The easier thing to do without proper testing...
would have been just swap the two halves of the switch over..
as you say you knew one half was working...

rather than buying an unnecessary part.
The unnecessary part was £1.78 from tool station. Wow!
 
I've attached a pic.. I want to test with my multimeter. Where do I attach red and and where do I attach the black please on the lamp socket. Thanks

It is not a good idea for anyone to suggest how you use a multimeter to test, it isn't a safe method especially in unskilled hands.

Ok thanks 👍 I promise I'll have my rubber gloves on and I still remember my A level Physics ... op amps etc 😂 fair enough. Thanks to everyones input and help 👍
 
It isn't rubber gloves you may need nor should it be taken lightly go and find an electrician.
 
Where about roughly in the country are you, you never know if you are near one of us you might get a visit on the way past😀
