I suppose you could put a socket and torque wrench onto the opposite end of a box spanner?

I'd like to know where you can buy box spanners for 30p though lol

Anyone know what the torque should be? It's probably in the Haynes somewhere

Yeh once you have the mechanics feel you can do alot without a torque wrench but many small threads can be massively over tightened if you dont have the experience

Car boot sales are usually full of them.

I don't have the patience for that... Want to get the job done

My MOT is actually due in a few weeks so it may be worth letting them fit it

All done and it works exactly as it should Old one was tight, but came off with a bit of force Only a 10min job

24mm deep socket £7.49 down to £4.49 with Halfrauds trade

One question... the Haynes manual mentioned an o-ring... but there definitely wasn't one when I removed the old switch??

I've taken the van for a good drive, then had a look underneath, definitely no oil leaking from around it so hopefully will be ok

Many thanks again for all your advice
