Thanks Arctic, the starter contacts i changed myself about a year and half ago. TBH if it was them that was the fault, then i assume we would still get dash lights (ignition etc), but when we press the start button, nothing happens, no ignition lights etc. but when we press it a few times then it kicks into life, ignition lights come on and press the button again with foot on brake to start, and hey presto all good, but last few times we had problems turning the vehicle off, need to keep pressing button a few times. i have ordered a new button from Landrover. so its due on Wednesday this week, i will change and report back.

I had issues with the starter button on my 2011 shortly after getting it late 2021. Sometimes it would take quite a few prods and firm prods at that. It was replaced under the warranty and problem solved. Ultimately it did need a starter motor at a later date too. Luckily, that too was replaced under warranty.

Well not the news i wanted

"Thank you for your order.

So back to the searching

Thanks both, of course i googled it, and it came up with a few but i thought i would go with LR direct and thats the order i made, but as you have seen its not in stock but thats the first company i tried tbh.
As for the Ebay item, well thats in Lithuania, i like to use this country if possible,,, but all said and done i just ordered from Rimmer Bros and 2 day delivery, so lets see what happens.

Worth calling Duckworths, Market Rasen, genuine parts & they will confirm at time of ordering if in stock.

Thanks Colin, i will do if Rimmer Bros fail on the order, i scoured every LR dealer here in Wales with no luck, i spoke to a dealership in North wales who said "its a write of mate, those switches are no longer being made, so tell your insurance" i fell of the chair lol

Looks like there were 3 different part numbers dependant on vin as below.

LR002193 - (SWITCH - IGNITION WITH PUSH BUTTON CONTROL) [ up to (V)AH180027 ]
LR023490 - (SWITCH - IGNITION WITH PUSH BUTTON CONTROL) [ from (V)AH180028 - ]
LR039740 -(SWITCH - IGNITION WITH PUSH BUTTON CONTROL) [ from (V)DH000001 - ]

The last number is available from JLR classic at £27.56 and says it fits 2006 to 2014 so presume backwards compatible.

Hi Andy, thanks for that, i have ordered the correct switch but also looking at your list there, is the LR039740 a superceeded one maybe?

Hi Arctic
i may have another look as RBare failing at the moment to provide the switch, i ordered on the 3rd Jan and paid the extra £7.09 for two day delivery, today its the 7th and still no switch, i have asked why no delivery and they said it has not even arrived to them yet!!

Well the search continues, this email came this morning from Rimmer Bros

"I am sorry this part did not arrive and on inspection with Land Rover they have no expected delivery date at present"
