My cars been booked in for a new indicator stork hummmm spellin, when i go to indicate right my main beam keeps flashing or cuming on and when its on its a nitemare to get off

Its a right blag cause cars keep thinking im flashing them out, anyone else noticed how sensitive the main beam switch is?

i reckon its just you clare

sounds like a 'one off'

I've got to admit that i've done it on numerous occasions when using the indicators and sometimes i have had difficulty switching the main beams off!

I didn't think it was a fault, just that i needed to be more delicate, but thinking about it...hmmmm.

Let me know how you get on, and whether this is a fault i need to get fixed.

Mine does it sometimes but i reckon its the sensitivity of the stork myself

Na i dont think that its just sensitive chris, cause when i indicate left, it dont happen, and while the indicators on u can pull back and swich the main beam on, it clicks into place and u can pull it back out again easy, but when i do it with the right one, it dont seem to click it just sticks and its hard to get off.

its got loads worse now, i cant indicate right without it cuming on now

and when i turn with the indicator on it flashs, im having people nearly pull out infront ov me now

Its booked in for the 23rd as my dealer is really busy

Roll on the 23rd

I had a similar thing on my Fiesta. When I braked, my headlight would come on very slightly. It turned out to be because I'd fitted the wrong bulb when I replaced my rear brake light and it was shorting.

BTW, Minicruiser, you asked about the spelling of "stalk".
