Toyota corolla 2002 door sensor/button

Im looking to replace one of these, the spring/button was flat and when I opened it one bit of the plastic holding the cooper spring was slight broken, in turn it wasn't offering any resistance. It connects to a wiring loom via a clip,then a rubber shoe goes over it and the button, this screws into the body and depresses when the door closes and tells the car the door is closed/open etc.

Where would be the cheapest/best for this, its not a major important part so I assume its not worth going to a corolla dealer.

Thanks in advance.

GEt one from a scrapyard. From memory every Toyota since the beginning of time uses pretty much the same door switch.

Thanks colm, is that the right name for it?
Is summer hill spares still an option or is there anything nearer to Blanch?

Might just do that and see, that's the WORSE price you can get and if it its a silly price, then its a breaker yard time. Thankfully I can replace it myself, the labour costs do be a killer.

I think its just a Philips head bolt and a clip holding it In.

Yep its a allan key head as id call it and then it clips onto the wiring room, thankfully its an easy job I can do myself. I could leave it but then it could turn into a safety issue.
