That's the main light on/off switch, the stalk is the hi-low/ind/horn lever.
If you check out any of the dealer websites you can get the part number & price from there. Paddocks is quite user friendly but as I said earlier, it depends on the age so have your chassis number available (they don't go on age). When you have the correct part number you can do an internet search to see what price other dealers are charging but make sure you are getting prices for similar parts (i.e. genuine vs OE or pattern).

If its any consolation I've had 3 Defenders and they have ALL needed new headlight switches (driving home with 6 kids on main beam or sidelights only was best bit) LR say there is no known fault......
Dead easy change - only fiddle is teasing the steering column covers off round the wheel hub - undo all the cover screws first to give most movement, and swing the wheel a few degrees each way for the really tight bits. Mind you don't mangle the soft foam finish on the hub tho.
Later models call up a part number with the nylon push fit loom plug, and cost about £60!!! :shock: Early models are exactly the same - when I last did it - and you can Scotch block it into the loom if happy with that.
Good luck, Age.

In my opinion and experience there is only one place for Scotch locks or what ever you care to call them.
The rubbish bin.
I needed to make a new loom up after a so called professional auto electrician knackered it up with those things. If you really want wiring problems use them.
Proper Lucar connections and joining blocks are only coppers and easily obtained.
