Mine don't work so well in winter, don't know why they take an age to light up. Anyway fixed it by removing connectors to the switch on side of gearbox and sprayed with WD-40, work ok now just a little sticky in winter [smiley=cheesy.gif]

WD40 is not the stuff to use on electrical connectors
Always use switch cleaner - you can get it from Maplins
