I guess between us we’ve still got a pair! I ended up buying a new pair from Design 911. All fitted now and look and feel great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Pearce Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Yes, very expensive but having melted the original switches it was this or nothing really 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 I ended up ordering via the climarepair website which came to about £102 (search for a rennlist code too) which still feels about £80 too much. Still done the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Pearce Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 So many bad reviews on Climarepair that I gave it a swerve. I’m sure the ones I bought were indirectly from them though so probably should have gone with those. I’m impatient though and hated looking at the holes (it reminded me of my incompetence!) so decided on the faster delivery time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millej00 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Just got mine refurbished using Keyrepair.co.uk AKA https://www.climaterepair.co.uk/. Really excellent job. Purchased through their eBay outlet. £86 including P&P. Exchanged a couple of e-mails with Gary before I sent the unit off. Excellent communication and he turned the unit round in 5 days. They do offer the option of you removing the switches yourself, but I opted to send the whole unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless, of course, you manage to melt the original switches with cellulose thinners while trying to remove the paint. I agree, a total rip off but left with no switches to refurb I had few options...

jnwright71 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 All, As my supplier is out of business (short term I hope), I’ve a small number of decals left that I’ve been holding on to for forum members (closed down the eBay sales etc). i think I’ve still got 6 sets if anyone wants them. £15 inc p&p to UK postcodes - full instructions sent by email. PM me if interested. Cheers, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frixosk Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Design911 have now reduced them to £135. They have clearly listened to this forum. But only half listened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987Gen1, Cayenne GTS Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 After 5+ years staring at awful switches, I recently bought these (£66) and had GT-One in Chertsey fit them (£100). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124286715319 https://www.gt-one.co.uk/ Problem solved.

Greyanglia Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Although my temp and fan were not too bad and not faded they were very grubby and sticky along with the rest of the buttons. Tried a couple of things to clean them to no avail and then in these Covid times I thought I’d have a go with the alcohol based wipes I keep in the car. Amazing result and years of sticky mess off after a few minutes. All looks like new now. Can’t guarantee that will work for everyone but thought I’d pass the tip on. I agree it is a real bummer if the temp and fan switches have faded and lost the white markings as crazily expensive to replace/renovate.

Davey P Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 I've had my 987 for a year, and only just found out I've been operating the heater buttons all wrong. Who else on here didn't know you're supposed to press the fan and heater buttons on the top and bottom faces, and not operate them by the tab that sticks out...? Lucky for me, mine are in perfect condition, 'cos I think my sausage fingers would struggle to replace them after looking at the instructions...
