Replacing 2 gang 2 switch light switch help

[Rayhan]

Hi guys

I'm trying to replace this light switch 1 with light switch 2. But the setup is totally differentas you can see and I can't work out what wire goes where.

Any help?

Light switch 1 has a dodgy button loose switch so needs replacing but I can't find a switch plate which matches the existing one.

Any help is much appreciated

Are we allowed to give wiring advice ?

This would be a 5 minute job for a 1st year sparks to change without too much trouble

You simply have a common feed in and out and two switched lives , it really doesn’t get any simpler

do it 1 at a time. 2 L wires into each of the 2 C (com) terminals. link com1 to com2. then the 2 remaining (switched L) wires into each L1 on each switch.

And switch the power off first!

Thanks for your help guys, particularly Telectrix cos I followed your instructions word for word and I know have a very snug looking perfectly formed light switch.
