Whoops!!

Sorry, I didn't notice that bit.

Hangs head in shame.

It could be worth ringing a few indy dealers. When mine finally blew up, I'm sure that mine was a slightly better price when I bought it. But it is a while back, so wouldn't swear to it.

Another was that might find one is fleabay and going through some of the breakers' adverts.

Had the same problem and can confirm meths worked a treat-however don't rub too hard or the black colour will come off the switches and reveal a white undercoat.I stopped just in time but still have a bit of white showing although the switches are lovely and clean with no sticky residue.Think if I was going to do it again in hindsight may have been better to soak them a while first before rubbing.

Just cleaned mine with a product called Sticky Stuff, it's for removing kids crayons, felt tips etc. like has been said careful on the window switches as they are white plastic painted gray!!

I had the sticky button problem with my C70. I solved it very simply. First I cleaned the buttons with a lint-free rag and alcohol. Next I coated them with oil based polyurethane. problem over.

Isopropyl alcohol works, removed the grease from sticky fingers on mine.
