Well.
Definitely says replaced the switch three times..
My god.. work around is a 'must' surely...even with a new switch...
Or have the jumper ready in you 'custom breakdown kit'.

Could be dodgy wiring from the switch with intermittent connection if switch has been replaced 3 times.

If the F125 or wiring is playing up I would check to see if reversing lights are working, other than that should be OK with jumper in place.

This would have been my destination for this weekend/next week - probably in the Tesla, tbh - if my right arm wasn't in a full plaster cast

Sounds excellent, Balmenach cask strength 2001? I was an SMWS member for many years (decades even) but no longer sadly.
I don't know if it's still an option, but we've stayed at the flats in their premises at The Vaults in Leith on several occasions when on a Scottish road trip.

A week away from the annual meet! Some of us have to deal with broken cars on the run up to the meet, but this is going a bit far.

Will you be able to get to it?
