    Hiya Joe...

    Wishbones - Have a close look and check the bushes! Maybe replace with Poly bushes for longer life.

    Switch - Try prising the switch out and clean it, if that fails just get another unit, not expensive.

    Servicing - ANY garage will stamp your book, just try to be there while they do the work (applies to BMW dealers too) !!

    HTH ;)

    so do i need to replace the whole unit? or can i just clip a used button on it?

    Hi mate welcome to the forum... if you get the other switch out without braking the clips you should be able to pop it straight in..

    But you might find it easier if you pull the gear surround out and push the switches up from the bottom they should just pop right out..
