Our electric mirror switch is playing up and I'm struggling to find a new one. Tried Gunzl and looked on ebay. It looks like this:

Does anyone have any ideas on where we could source one?
cheers

Don't think it's particularly "Westy". It'll be a VW part, almost certainly shared with other late '80s, early '90s stuff.
Here's a source, but it's stateside - and out of stock.

At least it gives a part number, though.
321.959.565
Also, is
this article any help?

Passats and Corrados used the same switches, they usually go for a third of what the T3 ones go for.

Is that a B4 Passat of about 1994 ish vintage?
Could do with one for mine as I the mirrors but no switches or loom.

I think a bit earlier is the exact one but the one from the facelift 35i Passat fits.

Oh you star. Thanks for that. Very useful. Yes of course, I knew it was VW rather than westie but was half asleep when I wrote my post!

That's useful, though I don't know if I'm being stupid but I still don't know where to look for these? Is Ebay the best place. There are a few on there that are similar, but they don't look exactly the same. I guess if they use the right product code they should still fit though?
cheers

Ebay or your local scrappy.
At the moment I can find none on ebay (Passat), Corrado parts are nearly as expensive as T3 parts.
