One thing that's causing a problem here in Oz at least is that the switches
being sold as isolator switches are in fact Landrover reversing light
switches. I guess that these are not designed to be used with the plunger
side immersed in oil. I had one fail recently that had been in the car less
than 2 years. It was full of oil!
