Pretty sure you pop the vents off then it just pulls out. It's been a while since changing one.

A bit of WD40 sprayed around the edge of the switch might free it off so it latches again, and save the hassle of removing it.

already tried the WD round it which is now all over the dash haha. I will see if the vents pop off, seeing as the car had been stored for a bit I wonder if removed it may clean and start latching again before buying a new one.

The vents will pull off - just give then a firm tug on the flap-adjuster thingy.

Then the switch will pull out of it's socket, but will be latched in place top and bottom.
Don't pull on the switch button itself, as it will simply separate from the switch body.
