When you say live all the time at the Klix is this the marshalling box where all the plugs are.
Nah there isn't one these are individual kliks.

They are on emergency key switches which i presume is fed from the db and then the 'switch live' L goes from there to the klik, and the perma live is linked through and goes into Loop.
 
If that is the case then either you are mistaken or it is wired incorrectly or intentionally changed to always be on

It should go from MCB to keyswitch to Loop in standard klik or A in emergency

Your extra cable at the keyswitches is not required but probably a conversion from Switch / Keyswitch to Keyswitch / PIR which might have been done wrong

Maybe a stupid question but do the PIRs work? Have you seen them switching?

Yeah they all work.

I'm probably mistaken somewhere but what i know for sure is the klik feed is in 4 core YY; 1 and 2 are L and N, 3 is Loop unless in an emergency light then it's in A.

I saw the lads operate the keyswitches to test them and they all turned on and then worked on their PIR's.

I've not seen the DB wiring but i'm presuming since it's 4 core that the grid switch with the keyswitches is fed in T+E from DB and the 4 core comes out the other side and feeds the kliks?
 
You need to do a line diagram ignoring the fact Klix plugs are involved. Ignore neutrals and cpcs as these will be common anyway. Ask yourself why there are two lines and how they are incorporated into the circuit.
 
Would this not just be

3 goes from breaker into keyswitch, out of keyswitch to loop/A depending on what kind of light.
1 goes from breaker into L, and via the klik plug from L to PIR. When PIR senses movement, it switches the light on.
