Flickering diff light??

Just a quick one chaps and chapesses, my diff light started flickering on and off on my way into work (300tdi 110), never done this before, I've tried putting it into difflock driving a short way, taking it out, but it still carried on flickering intermittently I know it's not in difflock, so can we assume that it's just a dodgy switch which can be ordered and fitted at my leisure, or is there another possible explanation which may cause some damage somewhere
As ever I await your words of wisdom and abuse

I know. Rome is falling.

mine used to do it, I assume dodgy switch, in fact the other day it was in diff lock, light was on then went off but was still in!!

Aye, thats my thinking (dodgy switch), because it's definitely not in diff lock, think I'll just get myself a switch, fit it when I get chance, and just ignore the flickering until then

think mine just shoved back on better than it was before lol

Loose connection or the switch might be on it's way out.

Have you tried Googling it?

Nope, been on nights, this is my first night off for over a week, so I've got my feet up infront of the log burner with a beer. I'm pretty sure it's nothing to worry about and just a dodgy switch, I'll order a new switch I think and just fix it when I get round to it

The weather has been warmer, maybe it was sticking and giving false reading as 'on'...
