Thanks for compliment and the info on the couler. And yes I can get the fork leaver for around £60. But that's not all that is wrong with this switch will find out more the weekend.Hi Steve,
Great photos and I must compliment you on your interior colour combo. I have the same, although with tech cloth inserts and red piping.
As an aside I was visiting the Italian Embassy this week for work, and found out our interior colour 'Avorio' means 'Ivory' in Italian.
I thought it was Italian for "bloody hard to keep clean".
I sure there was mention on the forum of someone who sells the metal fork, but made of stronger stuff.
I expect I will find the same as you as I have 110,000 km on mine now or 66,000 mile.
Good luck,
Bruce
Thanks for posting this Steve, I'm sure it will be useful to others in the future. Sorry I can't offer much help or advice - electrics are another world to me (hydraulics are proving so too!) - but I hope you can fix this relatively easily!

I have thought about this but was worried about causing any other problemsI think this is all done in the ecu. If you have two 12v feeds to the plug, the other two wires will feed 12v back to the gearbox ecu to tell it to select either 1st or reverse. Have you tried using a jumper wire on the plug to see if you can select a gear without using the switch itself? That would at least rule out a broken wire elsewhere.

If this is the case then I'm sure a switch can be rebuilt and not costing £500 + something I will look into.As long as you treat it like a switch and only connect it for a few seconds I'm sure it would be fine, after all it is only mimicking what the switch would do...
