You dont say which year vehicle you have. there are a couple of options. depends how much £££ you want to spend to.

I like Carling switches. Well made and are rated to, i think, 10amps off the top of my head.

Get the black one though . It's the best one.

I got the switches in Maplins and the plastic surround off a scraped defender then put them on the cubby box. I wired them direct to the battery the switch also lights up so I dont forget to switch them off.

My 86 2.5TD has a spare hole for a forth switch on the underside of the dash just above the interior light/4x flasher/heated window switches that a standard square switch will push into. As you have a diesel another option is putting a pull/push switch in the choke hole on other side of the wheel from the ignition siwtch (should be a rubber plug in the hole) - just behind the fog light switch

My mudstuff dash with switches (air, fuel, lights, rear wiper, winch) twin LED voltmeter and twin 12v sockets. Now also has the 3 gauges (clock, oil temp, oil pressure).
