i tend to agree with you. i think $200 for a part that is reeally just a switch is ridiculous. i plan to go and pull a few from the breaker yard and see if i can find a good one. hopefully i find a decent one and i will just pop it on.

thanks for your help.

oh, if you have seen my post on the driveline clunk i would like you opinion. i get a clunk, loud and not normal like metal hitting something, when i engage D/R. i have inspected the rear suspension bushes and they lok fine and i have tested the trailing arm bushes with a crowbar under a jacked tyre. the driveshaft appears ok. what happens is the driveshaft moves a little and the axle flange "catches up" and the clunk happens. that is all i know. the fluid looked awful when i had a quick peak and i will change that today. but, i don's know how to proceed from there, even if i removed the axleshaft i doubt whether i would know what and how to replace stuff.

your opinion would be most appreciated.

thanks,
chez
