I am replacing a bathroom Light and it seems to have a 2 switch set up, which I assume is controling the extractor fan. My question is: How do I wire the Yellow Blue and Red wires from the switch cable into the rose. I can't find anywhere it maps those colours to the Black and Red (Live and neutral) that I'm used to seeing.

hi spidey, you don,t wire those into the ceiling rose. they are for controlling the fan , creating a switch live and a permanent live if necessary if you want to run your fan on a timer.
the only other time you would use 3 core cable is for a two way switch i.e. garage or hall, stairs and landing
are you positive you have located all the switches? i would be looking for a fused spur or fan isolating switch as part of the set up
