Issues with old light fitting replacement

[DIYdan]

Hi all.

Removed an ancient light fitting, replaced with a newer one, the light comes on but can't be turned off with the switch. It was working before. Any idea where I'm going wrong? The old light fitting had all neutral and all live to the wrapped and inserted into the corresponding terminals and then the seperate black wire elsewhere which I'm guessing is for the switch. I'm trying to replace with a ceiling rose. Thanks

The connectors and wires require enclosure. Is it your house?

 

[DIYdan]

The connections are enclosed within the connectors. There is no void, just a little plaster chipped away

I'll get some electrical tape for them

That is not sufficient either.
I'll ask again is it your house?

Done and working perfectly. Had to use wago connections for all the wires and chisel the roof for them to fit. But all done and working now. Thanks for the assistView attachment 115947

You shouldn't have to use wagos.

A little bit of knowledge given, eh, Westy? He he he!

Something tells me it's staying like that, now.

He, gone to get tape probably a masking one

As said, looked like there was enough cable slack to correct direct and avoid fitting the wagos in ceiling void
