How much for a switch!

Ah, but it's a Landrover. So you'll fit said £38 switch and they *still* won't work ... because it's a Landrover. It'll turn out to be a £0.00 loose wire ... because it's a Landrover. ;-)

That's the nice thing about the guy who works on mine

He only charges me for the work to fix what's wrong.

Mind you, it's still £20 an hour plus bits...

William - this is a common problem. The hazard switch contacts get corroded through lack of use. Try working the hazard switch on and off a few/lots of times. It has cured it with others, and is worth trying before you spend the cash.

Thanks, will try it now.

Will write back if it works...

Now have a vision of Wills neighbours wondering what he's doing now.... "..... he isn't is he?"...."Look ... look I told you so, now he's flashing!"

Went out and tried it, no luck so far, and it's a bit chilly to persevere tonight.

I'll give it another try tomorrow morning when it's warmer and I can see what I'm doing.

However, every cloud has a silver lining, the driver's door courtesy light switch started working while I was messing about.

All part of the service, mate.

Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't. Yes he is. No he isn't.

I am blessed, if blessed is the right word, with a number of elderly neighbours who do rather take an interest in nocturnal activities of any kind.

Especially as the lead roofs disappeared from a couple of bay windows round here late last year.

My reputation for eccentricity (runs a Defender, dresses up as a Roundhead at weekends, plays the guitar etc etc...) will be enhanced by this incident.

That's cheap!

Audi A4 or a volvo x70 series car- the Hazzard switches for those wont leave you any change from £90.

Tim..

The Defender hazard switch is a standard Lucas part. I got mine from off Ebay from Island4x4 =A316.99 + =A31 P&P

------------------------------------

Goodness he has got some cheap bits.

Unfortunately my bit has already been ordered, but next time I'll certainly consider that source.

Ask how much a new clock is then!

When I bought the car I was told then (in 1996) that it was £110.

The salesman seemed to think it was a plus point...

I must assume that prices have gone up since then.

Plus, one assumes, VAT...

Does anyone actually ever buy a replacement one?

Or do they just get hold of a cheap clock, probably from one of the kit car companies who do round instruments, that fits in the space...

The different switch types are different prices. dunno if they're interchangeable, but the one of the early 110 is cheapest.
