Agreed. Cleaning the inside of mine has solved the problem for now, but its not a long term solution as the contacts are clearly wearing away. I was curious so it was worth a try but I have no idea how long it will last. It may be another 100K, but it may be a few weeks. Certainly if you have to pay a garage 4-5 hours to do the job there is no point whatsoever in skimping on £180 for a new switch.
