Well that's certainly not standard!

haha, she insisted I said "left" or "right" indicators, rather than "I'm pulling out to overtake now" and "I'm tucking back in". at one point a small argument broke out when she decided I was going too fast overtaking a convoy of lorries, and started indicating left to pull back in, forcing me...

I thought I'd just let you know what happened in the end, as it's so amusing. Called breakdown people, said they don't carry spare indicator relays for defenders, then started banging on about alternative options, etc. But we had 2 big dogs, and a shed load of baggage with us, and were on quite...

I'll give them a call in the morning then!

I do but they're unlikely to have a replacement relay are they?

Yeah I installed the wipac LED kit that replaces all of the indicators, side lights and break lights, came with a replacement indicator relay too. Has been working fine for a year. I can't change bulbs as they are purpose built enclosed units, not replacement bulbs.

I'm up in Scotland. Please tell me it's not the relay! I can't fix that from here! It's fairly new too! Came with the LED light kit last year.

I'm 500 miles from home and need to fix this tomorrow or I can't get back... Sod driving that far without indicators. All of a sudden my trailer warning light came on, and the indicators stopped working. Hazards too. It's pitch black now so I'm going to try a few things in the morning, here's...

Wow that was effort. I had to bash it about quite a bit with a hammer, but got there in the end. Working perfectly now, just in time for a 1000 mile round trip this weekend! Word of warning to anyone that discovers this thread with the same issue... Don't get the britpart version, you have to...

Britpart. I'll see if it'll bend in a bit in the morning

I yeah both sheaths are held firm in place

I got it through, put the plate on to complete the wheelbox, tightened it all up and tested it, and the cog isn't getting enough purchase on the cable still. It just makes a bit of a noise as the cable rubs against the teeth. Damnit!

Right, old wheelbox is out, new one is half in, but I can't work out how to get the cable to "lock into" the cog teeth? Anyone got some advice on this? What's the trick?

New wheelbox ordered cheers. Let's hope I can fit it.

This time the front ones! I was just driving in heavy rain and the driver side wiper started to fail. Getting weaker by the second, while the passenger side was fine. I pulled over to investigate, and after a lift and jiggle it came back to life.... For 5 minutes, then the same happened...

hehe, I don't need it! found everything tucked away behind the centre console!

Well an alternative is to locate the old wiring (assuming it's still under there somewhere, and wire it up to a new switch on the after market panel. It has enough blimmin' blank spaces for more switches, might as well make use of them.

Good to know cheers!

Someone fitted one of those metal centre consoles over the top. It's fairly modular so I'll open it in the morning and take a peek at the old console behind. Fingers crossed.
