Courtesy switch

[fatsteve]

Both of mine are corroded to buggery. Before I order 2 new ones from TMS in the morning, does anyone know what the part details are (ie, is it Vauxhall bit, standard size etc). Just wondered if I could source it from a normal motor factor (hence probably cheaper - sorry being tight at the mo!!)

TIA

Are you talking about the two little pins at the bottom of each door??
If so I think they are pretty much standard, i.e. any motor factors will have them. They looked like that on my clio and 106!!!, although I had to get a new one and picked it up from TMS when I was there, Not that expensive!!!, Best thing would be to take one out and take it with you!!!
hope this helps
cheers

Most standard door switches have only one pin as they would earth out under the screw. The two pins on TVR ones make when button released. If you are desperate (very) you could get a single pin standard one and earth one wire under the screw until you can get a proper one.

Cheers, I've brought one with me so that I can nip out at lunchtime.

Hi,

I just replaced my switches at the weekend. Got them from a local motor factor:

Durite Part No: 0-486-03
Cost: £2.12

These are the type with 2 spades and are the correct fitment.

5 mins tlc with some brasso, a quick rince and a towel has restored mine to new...

Hardly a big saving in the £2 stakes, but makes me feel that little bit closer to Trev, and saves me getting of my arse to get them
