If we're doing useful info.....

Swapping the pressure switch is a doddle, and doesn't require bleeding the brakes (well, I didn't, your mileage may vary).

There's only a couple of complications. One is the pressure switch connector, there's a metal retaining spring clamp thing on it, you'll need to pry this up with a screwdriver or something.

The other complication is that the bracket holding up the fusebox is cunningly located exactly where you need to put a spanner to get on the pressure switch. So unbolt the fusebox, push it up out of the way, unbolt and remove the bracket and you can now get a (big) spanner on the pressure switch. It 'cracks' pretty easily (I did it with a set of pipe plier things since I didn't have a spanner big enough, so not much leverage required) and you can then unthread it with your fingers.

Never heard of a deep socket then? ;):D
 
I don't have a deep socket big enough, but I do have a pipe wrench and a bit of lateral thinking!

Thanks for the pressure switch tip @Grrrrrr much appreciated.

Pipe wrenches are not good tools to be using on vehicles. Plumbers need them though. Totally forbidden for use on aircraft. If you are think of keeping your car any length of time i suggest you get some decent tools. ;)
