Trying to replace a bathroom fan. The cable is just twin and earth, and the new fan (http://www.wickes.co.uk/Fans/Extractor-Fan/invt/199796) just has a terminal block for L and N.

Easy? You'd think so! It runs, but doesn't switch off.

WHAT'S GOING ON!!!!

Not sure, but don't think so. I'm sure it was the same set up as the new one. just the L and N terminal blocks.
 
then look at the connection at the other end of the cable.

Usaully they come off the ceiling rose for the light, on Neutral and Switched Live. Your must be connected to Neutral and Permanent Live.

Or perhaps the old fan had its own switch, or a humidity sensor or PIR.

Thanks for the reply mate, all the wiring is above the ceiling so can't see it. Fan is between two downlighters and the switch is outside the room.

If I change the fan to one with a timer how would I wire it with just the twin and earth?

Cheers.
