    Thanks all

    So as per skitlers recommendation I should have the two wires in neutral and live then a separate bit of wire joining neutral and switched live ?

    If that is right I will try it and report back

    Thanks again

    no, don't do that.


    neutral on its own. in the neutral terminal


    the live you have to go in the sw/ live terminal


    a link from there to the perminant live terminal.


    theoretically you should have 3 wires as there are only 2 you need to link the lives in the fan or it will keep going off as it does.

    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
