aye, DA auto-parts, robbing bastards, i'll check other Nissan models too as the ignitions will be the same
can't you walk around yourself and get what you want? Thats what we do in wales, Ignition switch is perfect pocket size.

ahh ok:sly, it's not like that here in Scotland, all the cars are properly stacked and you tell them the parts you want and they get them.... usually the wrong bit:rolleyes:, the only other scrapyard near here is tiny, im yet to find a bigger one

Listen I've 'borrowed' things before, mostly from school, then I took them out my school bag and hid the 'borrowed' in my truck before mum seen......and that's no lie:sly you get good stuff in the technical class, well we do pay tax on the items :augie
Ohh and I have borrowed switches for my terrano, they don't do anything, just fill a blanking hole :lol came out a maverick
thats why you put it in your pocket. :doh
I am not happy with this comment on a public forum, it implies that you are condoning theft, or have I misunderstood what you meant.
Full apologies if I have misunderstood the comment.

Ah, so it's folks like you who force us honest folk to pay for your 'freebies' :doh

There are certain parts that if you buy second hand, you buy twice.this part is one of them.
I found this out when I bought a second hand washer pump. It worked for a few months, and failed, so I had to buy a new one anyway.:doh
You just don't know how they have been used and how often.
£35 does seem a bit steep, but if you need it...:nenau
This is only the contact block, and not the barrel, if I remember from earlier posts.
Anyway, I thought you had a donor vehicle for parts.

His doner vehicle seems to have all the useful parts missing :lol
Anyway in Wales it's the law to redistribute small spares for the less well off, especially at this time of year :sly

he has but i would bet that switch has gone to. so he is looking to buy another s/h switch:doh

What's wrong with tights ? I find them very beneficial up the scrappy, it's always perishing up there :lol

I used a pair of tights as a DIY airfilter once, duct taped them over the air intake hose on the tigra we had as a auto test car
We are resourceful here:D
I think if I can't find a good contact, I'll just get the 35 quid one, as with it being new, there's no worry of breakage after 5 uses :doh
If you get a second hand one, it may well be as old, as used and as knackered as your existing one. Bite the bullet and get a new one.
