2008 and just replaced with an original... a lot of money for something with no moving parts..but hey it's a Land Rover.

Getting a secondhand one at least solves the latter issue.

Dazzler (thanks again, mate!) showed me that changing the whole stick really is a 5 min job. No tools. Just some grease needed.

Compare that to the effort to hack the stick and fit something else....

Reviving this thread - what is the 5 min way to replace the stick? I have the replacement part - just not sure what is the best method to replace it?

dip it in resin it will last longer, ( colour the numbers and letter so you can see it through the resin)
done mine when it cracking five years ago still good , i did not do the colour bit, its and after though as i could not see them very well.
Maybe my eyes...
