Hi, I’m trying to wire a two way two switch into my lounge, i have a live feed coming from the consumer unit to the switch. I have a feed going to an external security light and also a external junction box for future garden lighting. I have wired the switch how I think it should be and it does work until I turn on the switch and then it trips, please advise on how to wire the double switch
 
Welcome to the forum mate.
Can you draw a diagram on how you have wired it.
Just draw it on a piece of paper, take a pic and upload it.
 
My fault, this is the one
