All I can tell you is that the switch from my MY94 scrapper fitted and worked in my MY99

That may explain why LR discontinued one of the two. I guess I will order one an see what happens.

Are you sure it's not the motor that has gone, mine was burnt out last year in a small boating accident...
I just use the cable for the time being!
Pull and gas!

I'm a bit lost. I have a 1999 p38 2.5 dse with a broken fuel flap switch. VIN starts with XA. I find a lot of switches with part number AMR3388 which is up until and including VIN to WA. From XA they say I need part YUG102490 which is discontinued and i can't find anywhere.

Am I fine to use AMR3388 or will it not work? Visually on pictures I don't really see a difference.

Maybe get one off eBay from a scrapper? Only issue is posting to the EU can be a bit hit and miss these days.

Apart from the UK postal strikes, getting parts from the UK has settled down a bit, still have to pay duty & French VAT but no UK VAT so not too bad. Belgium may be different but the rules are EU wide so should be the same.

Yes indeed, same rules here in Belgium! I'll first try to source a scrapper locally, don't want to pay VAT on 2nd hand things..

Seems strange but I think we do here. I guess you can claim some duty back or argue it isn't required when shipping to the EU.
