You're welcome, and a switch should be easily available

Graham, if you get stuck for genuine parts we have Quickco at Rainton Meadows Ind est. They are normally the same price as Rimmers as they are an x part supplier and if not in stock they can get the part the next day. I got mine from there a couple of years back. I'd unplug the switch and bridge the plug with a paperclip or wire with the ignition on to make sure the lights work. Changing the switch is a doddle, ,i just used a ring spanner.

It's not the switch itself but a lack of travel .

And you can repair it easely :
