The Lucas switches often respond to the WD-40 treatment. Inject WD-40
liberally, or better the special cleaner/lubricant for electrical
purposes, actuate the switch a number of times and in many cases the
switch will work fine afterwards, not 100% result though.
If you are at it treat all the other switches as well to keep them in shape.
The switches can be taken apart for inspection and proper cleaning (or
repair) fairly easy.
New old stock can often be found on ebay.co.uk. They are rather cheap.
They are the same or similar as the ones found on various other UK cars
like Landrover, Jaguar, Mini etc.
