i tried swapping the stalk with my mates and also borrowed one from a brand new hire car to try. still no joy. it's 100% not the stalk. holding brake and clutch doesn't seem to help so i'm going to try pulling the stalk next weekend and cleaning where it connects using a cotton bud and some switch cleaner.

That's a pest - what else could it be if not loose/dirty contacts under the cc controls or the clutch spring? I'll be highly hacked off if it turns out to be something in the high £hundreds and I miss the end of warranty date through all possible 'fixes' being tried...
