indicator stalk
Hi apologies if this has been covered before but does anybody know of an alternative indicator stalk most likely in the vw/audi range that will fit a T25 and has a proper headlight flasher i.e. pull to flash headlights,push to change to full beam like "normal" cars/vans have instead of trying to gauge the spring pressure without actually switching headlights fully over.Cheers bob

Re: indicator stalk
Sounds like yours isn't working properly - just source a new one the same or repair your current one. Yours isn't working normally compared to mine.

Re: indicator stalk
Thanks for the quick reply oldiebut goodie so my indicator "should" pull to flash and push to change to main beam and it's just passed the MOT 2 weeks ago.Best regards bob

Re: indicator stalk
Mine has the two differing degrees of pull but for flashing it is very light pressure and a lot of pressure to get the click to dip/main beam. Maybe you have lost a spring as it shouldn't be difficult to easily differentiate between the two positions.
You don't need a headlight flasher on vehicles anyway - flashers are for the park or down by the canal!

Re: indicator stalk
Maybe it's a combination of podgy fingers and old age but I'm struggling with flashing so i'll get my engineers head on and think of the solution,don't watch this space it could take a while.Thanks again and take care not to fall in the canal.Bob

Re: indicator stalk
I suffer from arthritis in every joint and I don't have any trouble but as for flashing I can't get the buttons undone quick enough!
