Freelander 1 Which switch?

Is anyone able to identify which switch is located on the top left of the steering cluster on the pre-facelift FL1?
Mine has a blanking cover (strangely with wiring attached) but I want to add a switch for beacons and that seems like an ideal place.
I just need to find a working switch and "re-purpose" it.

You mean top left of the instrument binicle?

If so, then that space is for the front fog light switch, which were an option on most pre-facelift.

Thanks.
Just looked on Ebay - that switch is more expensive than the others.
I guess it's the least common.

Yes, and you have to make sure you get the right colour one. One type is a dark grey, and the later ones pre-facelift are black.

They're rare, so this keeps the price stronger.

I found a complete kit for my V6 for £40, which contains everything, including the lights and switch.

The kit I managed to pick up, (albeit not as good a price as £40), came with two switch types. A grey one for use around the instrument cluster, and a black one, that fits into a supplied blanking plate, that goes into the cubby hole to the right of the steering wheel. So I have a choice, sort of. I think the cluster switch is intended for earlier models, as it is grey in colour, where as the switches on the later pre-facelifts are jet black.

Unfortunately, with a house move, I haven’t had any time to fit them or the FBH I picked up also. Hoping to make it a summer job this year when the front bumper is off, and get things ready for next autumn, This summer also needs to be one for getting the underneath of the vehicle in tip top condition again. The last MOT I had listed the fuel tank cradle as being badly corroded, and slightly loose, with an advisory, so it probably won’t make another winter. Anyway, sorry for the thread diversion...

Back onto what Nodge says, the rarer parts do seem to appreciate in cost. Just try getting hold of the rear parcel shelf brackets for a 3-door, and you’ll see.

I managed to get hold of a grey one - I won't tell you how much for!
But it's actually a different grey to the rest.
I suspect the others are faded black. Never mind!

On the anorak front, switch A is FL1 pre-facelift grey, switch B is FL1 pre-facelift black and switch C is FL1 facelift black. The pre-facelift black is actually dark grey. Not sure about the binnacle switches mind.

Yep I recon that's it. Mine should be pre-facelift black.
