Michal 969 is quite correct in that my car does not have the stop start (don't like those systems anyway) so hopefully a normal battery (which I think the original is) should do the trick. The current ...

Just replaced my switch, looking at how far back this problem goes, mine seems to have done well lasting not far short of 6 years. Must admit I paid dealer price for the switch (just over £29) but it ...
