You would have only needed to ask and serveral people would have told you that.

The pain is soldering the wires on the hazard switch

Hazard switch comes out easily though...

Only when there's some thread left to lock. It was so knackered that I had to chop a few mm off and rethread it. I marked it a bit while threading it too hence the black shrink wrap. God knows how I'm going t retrieve the stubs of the hazard wires from inside the pod without taking it all apart (again). I did the ribbon cable, then took it all apart for the EGO gauge, then took it all apart again for ribbon cable number 2 to replace the new one which I broke while fitting the EGO gauges. This is an area of my car that I'm getting really sick of seeing. Yesterday I allowed myself the comparatively fun task of replacing the boot carpets. When fitting Cerbera boot carpets is fun for an 18 stone bloke you know it was preceded by some real ball aching tasks.

I feel your pain Jon.

I had intended to connect an Oil Temp Guage up.

I dropped the wheel as I took it off which pulled the cables out of the Molex connectors.
I decided to extend the switch cables anyway to avoid them being clamped against the Boss.
Then I broke the Indicator Stalk.
Then the one I was supplied with had an even smaller internal diameter which meant that
Threading the wires from the switch to the circuit board above the Steering Column was a nightmare.
On reassembly I'd forgotten which 10-core plugs go into which sockets.
It's all back together now
BUT
Nothing works !!

If only I could afford a decent Beretta !
