Help needed with 3 gang 2 way switch

[si1964]

Help needed with a 3 gang switch i have purchased, just cant seem to work out which wires from the original set up go to the new switch.

The original set up is here, this is a picture from a two way switch in my front room operating the front room ceiling lights and the landing light.

This picture below is the switch on the landing.

The pictures below is the new 3 gang switch, on the left of the switch it is marked 0 for 2 wires to go and on the right it is marked 3 at the top and 1 at the bottom of the 3 individual gangs, their is also 2 red loop wires that came with it.

I have tried to connect it up almost had it ok the problem was i could not switch off the landing light at the landing light.

At some stage i would like to connect wall lights to the spare gang at the bottom of the new switch.

If anyone could help with this i would be really great full.

something i dont quite understand here!
you have a 2 gang which controlls 1 1way circuit(controling your front room) and the other a 2 way(controlling your landing light)
and a 1 gang 2way also controling your landing light.

so where do you need a 3 gang? i just dont get it.

on a diffrent note about 3 gang read the instructions if any came with it im pretty sure almost certain that 0 is your common and 1-3 are your switch lines with the spare whole for a link where needed if they were on the same circuit.
