one of the blacks should be red sleeved. post a pic.of the existing wiring before you disconnect anything. arggh, just seen it.

1. those cpc's (earths) need redoing. bare copper showing.
2. the 3 reds go in the 3 loop terminals.
3. 2 of the blacks are N's. 1 is switched L.

get them wrongand you will have:

a) a burnt out switch
b) a maybe damaged MCB, or a blown fuse.

20 minute job or a sparks. call one.

One of the blacks shpuld have had a bit of red sleeving or tape on as its the return from the switch... Also is there an earth fly lead to the cobduit box? Not evident on pics

I can't speak for your area - but at a guess somewhere between £40.00 and £90.00

take murdoch's mid point as a guide. if it's more you'll need to dig deeper. if less then you can have a couple of beers.

£30 tops imo

You kept the screws for that conduit box, it also needs earthing.

£45 on my watch if within 10 miles.
