Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I seem to recall reading something similar, related to the actual light switch itself. Perhaps it's the contacts needing a clean in the switch?
If you do a search, I think you'll be able to find the thread on it.
I think Richard H also contributed on it, so do a search with his name as author.
Pull the knob out and you will see a small brass clip on the underside which you release with a screwdriver. Undo the THREE torx screws (21) - there is one in the light switch recess. Unplug the switch (31) and the light level control (not shown) if you have it. Undo the nut (26) and the switch comes out.
It's a doddle - took about half hour start to finish..... :thumb:
Also, the part is shared with the Boxter, so check e-bay etc. I got mine from a breaker for £20 delivered.
