Ceiling wiring- Please help.

[orsm]

Hi guys, I have 2 ceiling light fixtures in my living room (both were rose fixtures) and one wall switch. I removed one yesterday and fitted a new fixture from next, I tapped off the 2 brown wires from the ceiling and connected the earth to earth, connected the 2 blue wires from the ceiling to the blue from the new fixture, and connected the black from ceiling to the brown from the light fixture. Worked perfect, so I had 1 new fixture and 1 old fixture both working.

This morning I took down the other fixture to replace with new, this one has more wires than the one I changed yesterday.
I basically followed the same wiring as yesterday.
The fixture has,
1 blue, 1 grey with blue sleeve (connected to blue from new fixture)
1 black, 1 brown, both with brown sleeve, (connected to brown from new fixture)
2 earth from ceiling, (connected both to earth from new fixture)
3 brown from ceiling, (tapped off and not connected)

Switched light on and both the lights in the living room are not working, ive checked the wires and all are fitted and not loose. I have added 2 pics, one before and the new fitting that dont work.

Any ideas please.
Thanks

The browns are permanant lives and need to be connected together.
If you have connected it all as before it will work,remember it worked before you touched it.

As wirepuller says, if you've connected it as before, it should all work.

However, there are things that might have gone wrong in the meantime (apart from the obvious like non-working lamp), for example:
- Tugging on a cable while working on it, disconnecting a junction somewhere else
- Accidentally connecting a switch across L & N, and burning out the contacts (or dimmer module)

Once the obvious things are checked, you really need some test equipment to investigate methodically, and don't assume any component is working until proven so.
