which switch do you need ?
I have a couple of DimDip (UK spec) ones in stock

I'm running a non dim dip switch in a UK spec connector

ignition switch should be 111 905 865 L

hard to tell from video, a little bit tappety, drive it for 10-15 mins see if it quietens once the lifters are fully up to pressure

There's a detailed troubleshooting guide in Bentley which is available online, see post in General, and the wiring diagrams are also on Syncrosport website and most of the same stuff is on Sir Adventure website as well as what is in Haynes manual. And I have a bunch of bod circuits in stock both pet...

Parts Emporium seemed to have some used uns when I looked a couple of days but I don't think their website is always fully up to date
