been having few intermittant faults with my headlight switch when lit the display kept dimming to nothing so pulled it out last night and multi-plug was fine so decided must be the switch but somehow when pulling it back out a spring jammed and the switch janmmed back in position :angry: not good in the end had to butcher it half out and in process wrecked my bora vent :angry: :angry: even more pi$$ed off so no lights :laugh: anyway rang a local vdub breaker this morning to see if they had both and to my luck they did :smiley: got the dual lightswitch and the drivers side bora vent for £30 well happy cleaned them up and fitted and spot on now also decided to remove the gearknob and cut about 1 inch from the stick to make it shorter (thanks for the jubillee clip jonny :wink:) thats done and liking it :wink:
