Default Brake pressure warning switch 1988 240

My one is leaking brake fluid. There doesn't appear to be any available to buy new. Anyone know where I can find one? Used is fine. Either that or I'm going to have to blank it off which will mean no brake warning light!

A long shot perhaps but how about,

http://volvoonderdelen.com/240260/Br...-Volvo-606879/

I looked at the above site as my normal port of call skandix.de came up blank as it is now a discontinued item.

Hope this is of some use.

Cheers Scott. I tried this firm but they refunded me as part isn't available.

Appreciate your effort though

In my experience it was the switch seal that failed; the brake pipes use standard fittings so you might get away with replacing the switch.

Alternatively blank it off and fit a generic push-button switch by the brake pedal?
