Spot lights turn on dim in bathroom and fan comes on when fan isolator is switched on but light switch is off

What is the white core in the neutral block?

I thought the same but I think it's the grey from the 3c&E

I agree with Sharpend. It sounds like the fan is incorrectly wired.

Not on my at the moment

I don't get how it is incorrectly wired because there's not a lot there lol, you have a feed, switch, fan and loop out and also a feed for a mirror light, so don't get how it's wired wrong lol

Some fans of the lesser known may not use ‘generic’ ‘standard’ connection connotations. The fact that you turn in the isolator and fan starts when it shouldn’t suggests something is wrong at fan. Have you disconnected the fan at isolator and tried lights?

I havent disconnected the fan from the isolator, sorry this js all a bit new to me lol. what would that achieve if I do so? Because dosent it need an isolator switch?

By disconnecting it you will establish if your lights work correctly.

Bizarre - but the forum won't let me quote the post showing the make of the fan - which I don't recall ever seeing this.

Did the "spark" source this?

The lights work correctly using the switch but the fan wont fire up, when the lights are off and I turn the fan isolator on the lights turn on but become dim and then the fan kicks in.

hum ....... random sourcing parts isn't always a great idea

The whole lot wants disconnecting and for someone competent to carry out continuity tests then reconnect in a professional manner. While they are at it bin the extractor and get a new one from a reputable manufacturer.

So you either have a poor quality switch or a poor quality fan!
I would check the terminations in the switch and fan to make sure that the ‘spark’ hasn’t caught the insulation when terminating.
