A two way switch will have three terminals, a common, L1 and L2. The common will switch across to either L1 or L2 depending on its position. It is possible a neutral has ended up in L1 or L2 causing a short when you switch it.

So have you fitted a new light?It was done by an electrician. I thought it might be the switch and then the light fitting / chandelier. I have tried different light fittings and problem remains. Wiring to light contains 2 Live, 2 Neutral and 2 Earth wires but I guess this is normal.
Warranty - No but I can live with the problem as there are other lights close enough.
2 Way switching shorting line to neutral - explain!
the warranty is in the same place as the certificate and vat invoice....Is the circuit still under warranty?
Light Switch has 3 terminals - L1, L2 and Common - I joined Blue to Common and Brown to L1/L2.
Light Fitting - I joined the single blue to twin blues and single brown to twin browns.
