Can anyone identify this micro switch without mentioning the letters B,M and W. Maplins do loads for about £2.50, BMW want about £40. Tossers.

we'll need to know whether its push to make, or push to break. & whether its momentary or latched action if its a normal push to make momentary then this looks like the one http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/low-cost-miniature-microswitch-with-lever-gw69a

I'll need to check the 2nd hand one I've bought (this switch will be repairing the broken one to re sell) as without it working at all I've no idea. May have found an identical one from RS Components for a fiver. 3 wired and will work either way :) PN 517545 if you want to have a look :)

Might be cheaper to get the full item from a breaker & sell on as you say http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Mini-Cooper-One-S-R50-R52-R53-Tailgate-Boot-Lid-Handle-WITH-SWITCH-/321779262277 Assuming its in the boot handle
