Or indeed if your anywhere near NW London/Herts I also have the appropriate socket.[
Whats actually wrong with the switch tho'? I had a problem with mine, all it really needed was a good clean and a tweak of the leaf contacts. Cause the switch is all exposed its a doddle[
Let me now if I can be of any help[
Cheers

I always remove the horn relay before removing the wheel, as it saves the horn going off when you replace the horn pad.
The headlight flashing option on my stalk packed up a while ago. I shall take a look at it some time soon. Could be the points arrangement on the switch or a replacement may be needed.chrishak said:Graunching steering wheel and failing headlamp dip/main switch - two issues guaranteed to beset every Carrera 3.2...eventually!

That's only partially true Paul - although the switch doesn't come apart, the dip / main contacts are exposed so can be accessed and attempts can be made to clean them. However in my experience this is probably futile (but still worth a try) as they are likely to have welded themselves together or will, at the very least, have a build-up of metal on one contact. This is caused by the high current passing through the contact and is the reason why the addition of a relay in the headlamp circuit is such a popular mod.911 targa said:You can't break the switch apart so anew switch will be required design 911 will be your best and cheapest

If you do decide to replace the switch, don't discount your local OPC as a source - with the club discount they can be very competitive.
