Defender rear wiper switch differences

Having posted a wanted ad in the for sale section for a defender rear wiper switch I am now a little confused having done some more research.

I am looking for the style of rear wiper switch pictured below. I was originally searching for part number PRC4449 which is very expensive and is priced new at about £100 and that does not include the plastic knob which is an extra £25. I also cannot find any second hand. While searching for one I have come across part number 579006 which appears to be a series 3 single speed wash wipe switch. this is much cheaper and is priced new at about £45 also not including the plastic knob. Both switches appear to be a lucas single speed rotary wash wipe switch.

Is there any difference between the these part numbers anyone is aware of?

Hi dag, If you are not bothered about it being original type have a look at RDX rear wiper switch on the Fleabay, look nice and not expensive. Cheers Tot.

It is not that it has to be original but it has to fit in the hole I already have in my raptor dash panel and be a combined wash/wipe as there is only one hole space and no more space to add additional switches. I was looking at the durite rotary wiper switches but I cannot find one that is a combined washwipe.

Is this the kind of thing ref durite

Yes they are, but I am looking for a combined wash wipe rather than just a rotary wiper switch. It looks like as soon as you add in the requirement for the push to wash they become more difficult to find.
