Mend Two Way Switch

two way switch?

hi im replacing a two way switch with a new one.i have found that the old switch as got 2 cables entering the box.The 2 common wires are block connected and the blue/yellow wires are connected to the switch via a wire fitting on the back with 2 L2 at the top and 2 L1 at the bottom,the problem i have is how do i wire the new switch when it only as 1 L1/L2 and a common fixing? please note i have tried to connect the switch as normal but the light is always on

it sounds more like the old switch is is an intermediate type switch. i take it you can switch the light from more than 2 switch positions? the two cables entering the switch are both 3 core and earth i take, with the reds jointed through. if this is the case then you need to change your switch as the 2 way one won't do.
