Tony - might be worth a call to these guys. Looks like they have a couple of 350 wedges being broken.

Got mine from Rimmer Bros, worked a treat and wasn't too expensive Even bought 2 , so that I could replace my fan switch as well

Every time I've spoken to tell they want stupid prices. I bet there S/H price will be more than the new price from rimmers.

what part number did use, as when i rang Rimmer Bros they didn't seem to understand what i was talking about

rang DOUGLAS VALLEY and still waiting for a call back.


Thanks all for your help

DOUGLAS VALLEY rang and no luck looks like some one has all ready pinch them on both wedges.

so i am back to the part number or some way of identifying the make/car the switches were used in.

Does anyone know what these switches are off ; some leyland model or perhaps something more exotic eg maserati bora ?

Think I ordered the TR7 ones from Rimmer Bros, only one they did not seem to have was the heater switch

I'll try and find the receipt this weekend

Hi Tony, the headlightswitch comes from a Rover 3500 SD1, I'm sure of it, because I owned one.
It is the same switch as fitted in my 350i from 1987.
So I'm absolutely sure.
Rimmer Bros must have them, look in the SD1 section.
-Headlamp switch, part number DRC1424, price:16,39

Good luck, Maarten
