Re: Starter switch

Iain,
You'll have to take the nuts off the back side of the switch on the backside of the dash. Then push it towards the front of the car through the hole enough to disconnect the two wires.
The spare starter button in photo is courtesy of flackmaster.
The square headed screws that hold it in place are wedged between the controls coverplate and the dashboard behind it.
Someone with more knowledge may ask you what seems to be wrong with the starter button. Basically it needs to be tight to form a good ground and the wires tightly connected. You could disconnect the battery, attach clips to the two connections on the switch and check the continuity or remove the switch and check the continuity. I've found these are pretty hearty switches.
