Discuss Standard switch to dimmer switch change in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

thank you everyone for your replies, please see attached photo of what the wiring is currently on the old 2-way wall switch, do i just duplicate this onto the new dimmer switch?
Have you read any of the replies? Didn't you say that that configuration didn't work? So no dont duplicate it.
As well as the neutrals not being wired into the dimmer, the left hand switch can't possibly be doing anything with it wired like that
