If I wish to isolate the fan, am I correct in saying I will have to disconnect the cable from the fan to spot 1 and and run a new twin core and earth (switched live/neutral) from the fan towards the pull switch (actually isolator) or should I just disconnect both (green) cables and run 3 core and earth instead?
Pro spark would have a number of test options to prove this / depends what you have at your deposal ? Humble neon screwdriver perhaps (that you have previously tested as working)Okay, at the upstairs fan there are two twin core and earth cables, one is using the live (brown) and neutral (blue) in the correct connections, the other using the live (brown) in the switched live connection. Any wires I have not mentioned are snipped flush with the grey outer sleeving. At the pull cord there are four cables, only the live (brown) wire is being used in the switched live connection, the other wires on that cable are snipped flush with the grey outer sheething. I believe the electrician used two twin core and earth cables instead of one three core and earth cable to wire the fan to the pull cord. The cable running from the fan to spot 1, spot 2 and finally towards the pull switch is using a single brown wire for the switched live and a single blue wire for the neutral. Two other cables are also looped between the spots. So, with one of the four cables identified above, that leaves three cables, another of these cables must be from the fan, leaving two? Should there not be two from the electrical circuit, one for the lights and two (as described above) from the fan, so five in total? Clearly marked with a fan symbol and "Isolator", this 10A, 3 pole pullcord fan isolator switch is supplied with fixing screws and covers and benefits from clear terminal markings. As described above, I connected the fan through the fan isolator switch to the pull cord with 1mm three core and earth cable.
The only other terminals are com and what appears to be a symbol with a number of horizontal deminishing lines with one vartical line above, or otherwise, depending on how you look at it? If a house, standard set up, ground and 1st floor, usual to have lighting mcb for ground and another for 1st floor For clarity I intend to connect these or other wires to a fan isolator switch on the other side of a stud wall.

Not able to clarify if It's running directly between the two, but presume (1 wire) they are? However the existing pull cord I have does not have an insert or screw at L2 to secure wires with? I'm not sure if they were there before I started, or not?
Great Deal
