Tonight I put my indicators on to turn left then the indicator just would not cancel...in the end I flashed the hazards then that stopped it.

As you can imagine, I probably looked a right prat to the cars around me and this is now the second time this has happened! Anyone else had this?

KenL · Feb 22nd, 2007, 10:25 PM

No me Marcus.

Will keep an eye out for it though.

CooperS4us · Feb 23rd, 2007, 03:26 AM

I find these new turn signals very annoying during my test drive.

West9 · Feb 23rd, 2007, 04:05 AM

Aye, I didnt like the new signal storks, I test drove an R56 Cooper, they really annoyed me...

Paul · Feb 23rd, 2007, 07:33 AM

I really like the way they work, I prefer them on "old fashioned" mode than the new 3-flash operation though. Not sure I like the idea of non-cancelling though.

mister.t · Feb 25th, 2007, 06:32 PM

I prefer the new system, and also the stalk is 100 times better quality. No problems with ours as regards self-cancelling.

i had that problem on the r56 cooper s on a test drive she just said its not a fault, but i am not so sure.

~Marcus~ · Oct 1st, 2007, 08:55 AM

This problem is back and has happened 3 times in the last couple of weeks - car in today for first service (22k miles done) but I doubt they will find this intermittent issue.

i love the indicators on the R56

ScoobyDoo · Oct 1st, 2007, 09:06 AM

I have had no problems either

FergusM · Oct 1st, 2007, 09:10 AM

No problems with mine.

ALD0 · Oct 1st, 2007, 09:11 AM

Some cars seem to have the problem and others don't, I had a Dooper for 2 days and it had non cancelling indicators, yet I had a Cooper near enough when the R56 first come out and didn't notice this issue.

Richard Crofts · Oct 2nd, 2007, 10:23 AM

I know that the vauxhalls, particularaly vectras used to have major issues with those auto cancel, touch for 3 flash lane change type indicators (2 stage push ones) when they were first fitted (we used to have a nighmare with them at Avis)

Are these the sort of things the R56 has...I have to say I never noticed when I had a go

ops:

At least you don't have the over senstive thing were when they wont cancel you tap it the other way and it indicats the opposite side and wont cancel, so those behind think your insane and have no idea where you going

mister.t · Oct 2nd, 2007, 11:46 AM

22k miles!!! Where have you been??!!

LeakyTurnip · Oct 2nd, 2007, 04:52 PM

No problems either. I must admit that I do love the way the indicators work though!

LizzyG · Oct 3rd, 2007, 06:48 AM

Not had any problems with my indicators and although I found them a bit weird at first, I'm completely used to them now and find them neither better nor worse than normal indicators.

DerekH · Oct 13th, 2007, 07:47 PM

I like them , but the wife does not, they are similar to our 3 series and i like it better than old style.
