Can anyone help, I'm trying to replace a two way switch, but can't get both lights to work, i am a novice with electrics, however don't normally have problems replacing switches. The new switch is totally different to the old one and the colour of the wires is unusual.
Switch 1 - single switch (Two way) L1- red, L2 - yellow, L3 - blue
Switch 2 - Double switch, 1 two way, 1 single
wire 1 - red - incoming live, black Common, yellow/green earth.
wire 2 - red ?, black common, yellow/green earth
wire 3 - red?, yellow ?, blue?
can anyone tell me the correct wiring for the double two way switch
 
The block connector is just an extension of the red wire, the 2 black wires terminate in a block connector inside the socket housing and are not connected to the switch, this is how it was wired originally, I will try to locate an electrician, thank you for you time
mam ma ,now it just dawn on him!

Furthermore, as the left hand switch will currently not do anything, I'd try the loose brown in here:
