Brake Switch Multiply. Help!

Fred Pitt · 23rd March 2022, 13:37

Hi can anyone help please.
The above title should say MultiPLUG! Ruddy autospell!
I was having a new brake switch fitted in my Connie 2.5 V6 auto, and the bloke has broken the plastic multiplug that plugs into it. He said he pulled it out and it just broke up in his hands. Checked on Rimmer's, can any direct me somewhere to get a replacement, with a length of cable attached so he can splice the replacement one onto the existing cable loom. Or does anyone have one please.
Thanks

can you post a picture of the plug showing the pins in case anyone has something that will do if the proper one is not avileable?

How do I post a picture, it's not showing the paperclip icon?

I don't think I can make attachments, it says I'm not allowed.
Probably cos I don't subscribe.

All sorted now.
Got a replacement sensor/switch from Rimmer's.
The fitter accidentally broke the white plug when he unplugged the faulty sensor, and couldn't source a Rover replacement.
I did some homework and digging on eBay, and as it happens, the plug is a BMW part, it is marked as such on the plug, so I ordered one of them from eBay, and it worked a treat.
Much more availability for BMW parts as well!
Job done!
