brought one 2 weeks ago so it passed the MoT, was driving today and the thing jus started clicking away to its self, then stopped............then started again.............then stopped .............then started again and didn't turn off so i'm driving along holding it in for 20 mins.

do they always break of is it jus me having bad luck.

got a bit of car hanging out at the moment, half is red and holding the button in, the other half has the blue sparco logo jus stickin out,looks pretty cool, sparco dash board!!

do u think i could take it bac to the vauxhall garage and get it changed over?

new pics of car on here sometime tomorrow.

Fergie.

The main reason for them breaking are people taking them out flipping them over to turn ignition on, then messing about showing off to there mates etc.

There is a certain way round that does blow them and makes them useless.

Common as muck.

Why buy a new one? Just repair the old one. its only the lugs inside that bend over not holding it in the off position, take it apart, bend them over again and put it back together, job done.

normally caused by folk yanking it out the holder while its in the off position

but yer either get one from scrapyard or take it to pieces and fix it :)

Mine comes out on its own,
so I just folded some black card and pushed it down the side, That does the trick... :D
