Ignition Switch T100 Se

Hi,
I went to use my 2011 SE for work this morn and turned the ignition switch and nothing. Battery is on a optimiser so I knew the battery was tip top
if I rattle the key the lights flash and if you hold it in a certain place all is good bike fires up.

about 4 weeks ago i was on my way into Gloucester city centre and when going over the bridge (bit of a bump) I came to a slooooow stop all lights out and at the time thought it was a fuse but after turning off and on several times it seemed to correct it self. so this must have been on its way for a while

Is this a common fault ?

£166 for a new one yikes

Its kept in doors a nice dehumidified garage
t100 SE why cant it be is there not a T100 SE?

 

tried second key still the same tried WD40 still the same
split the switch, springs and small ball bearings galore. the second brass contact looks to have been melted/burned. I carefully cleaned and put some solder on and filed flat and after nearly 2hrs to put together it works but I am not confident it will last.
I am going to leave it for a few weeks to see.
