Take it apart and gently bend the contacts Simon. be careful as the Bakelite the switch casing is made of is very brittle..

Yes I had a lot of trouble getting the casing apart last time :( From what I remember the contacts are plastic riveted down, so there is no way to free the contact to cleanly bend it while riveted down ?

That's why I suggested a new one. I had mine apart several times to clean/adjust it, in the end I put in a new one and had no further trouble.
It infuriates me to be wrong when I know I'm right
