Having a go at fixing our faulty tailgate boot switch and 1 of the 2 number plate lights, I have managed to cut the plastic back off to get at the circuit board inside, which is corroded to bits, which is repairable now I can get to it to work on, but on of the micro switches behind the boot release button needs replacing (as in pic below)
Anyone know where I can get a replacement? I popped into Maplin yesterday, but they couldn't help me, the only switches they sold were far too big!
Thanks in advance

RS Components? They might even have a Trade Counter near you. Worth a look on line at their catalogue.

Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.

Thanks for the reply Richard,
But I managed to take the micro switch apart, and clean up the metal parts that had corroded slightly.
Also managed to fix the corroded circuit board with a few soldered in bits of wired, siliconed it all back together, both the boot release switch and 2 number plate lights are working a treat with no error messages - happy days!!!
