Replacing old double light switch with new, odd wiring?

[jezThomp]

Simple back story..

We have a double switch for our bathroom that controls the extractor fan (left switch of 2) and the bathroom lights (right switch of 2). We need to replace it as its bust basically.

Anyway i buy a Double 2 Way switch to replace it (picture below)

Anyway i take off the cover and are met with this...

NO blue or brown, only seems to be 1 gang even though its a 2 button switch....

Taken off...

So 2 red wires seem to be going into the top right 2 and the bottom middle 2 with the other red wire going into the top left common as well.

The earth and i’m assuming neutral are not even connected to the switch.

Now i suppose the simple question is can i use the above wiring in my new 10Amp Double 2 Way switch and if not what type of switch should i be after..?

Or is it a case of simply swapping over the numbers from the old switch to the new however, on the new switch which of the common would have the 2 wires in?

Thank you for any help

Ha okay, i’ll leave well alone. Managed to organise it all and now back on the wall and working fine.

Out of interest why don’t they do double switch’s like my old one anymore?

The old one is smaller though and does the same?

I understand having more options but surely only if needed?

Looks like you can swap the modules around on the newer model jez.
