I am replacing an old 2 gang switch with a new one (photo attached).

I know this is going to be a very simple question to answer, but;

There are no screw terminals that I can see and I am trying to work out how I connect wiring.

I have never come across a switch like this before. Anybody help?IMG_20190213_164411925.jpg
 
Welcome to the forum mate.
Not seen this before, so I'm guessing here.
Do you see the 3 grey levers at the top. Have you tried pushing them in and seeing if the holes facing front open up?
 
This is a Turkish claw terminal fitting. This type of design has a facia that plugs into the fitting
 
Looks like a 3 gang switch to me.
Also, it looks like the top connections are joined together.

Seemed to have reached an impasse Paul, where you should have employed a local electrician who knows what they are about to swap the switch over, sorry to be blunt but it happens time after time, people think it's a simple job, when in fact it takes a professional to sort it out in the end.
