It appears that my ignition switch is bad on MONO66. I have the relay upgrade but I need to know where to find a replacement switch like the one on the car, with blade connectors. The ones I have seen online look like different. Thanks, chuck

Two suppliers in the UK immediately Spring to mind, and with the current exchange rate could fit the bill

What are the symptoms?
Intermittently it will just stop turning over and all electronics shut off when trying to start. I thought it was the relay, but I changed it and no better. Battery hot coming in to the switch is fine, but ign out dead. Looks like a Lucas part, big surprise .

Check the white (ignition positive) going to the switch (relay) from the wiring loom. Several years ago I discovered the connector I had was corroded and needed replacing. It looked like the connector was not up to the amperage. I replaced with something a little bigger and that hasn't been a problem since. I've also had to replace the add-on relay as that lasted (only) about 5 years. 
As least as far as my car goes, Lucas ign switches that look like mine are 47sa and according to the info I have 35598 is correct for a Land Rover part and should fit.
The other thing to consider might be to just replace the switch with a heavier marine unit. One of the other CAV owners did that and if I recall was pretty happy with it.

I got a new switch and changed it out. I turned it to the on position and my fans and vacuum pump came on( as they should) , then tried to start it and it immediately shut down, cutting off all electrical. Suggestions?
Veek, I will change put that white connector and see if that solves it.

Bad ground at battery. Lesson learned
