What year car, what Indicator system?

From the sounds of it, almost certainly the Flasher Unit is faulty; but you can always do some electrical fault finding with a Multimeter or test lamp....

(basically anti-vibration?) On the '63 cars it's a piece of plastic so I think it's just there to make it turn smoother through the bracket. Mine was a very similar experience to MIke, The rubber sleeve holds the metal bush that is the 'bearing'; when I got my car, I thought the steering was a litt...

That is not a standard SII arrangement. That's all part of the cover. Here's my '55 SII. 20230501_095007.jpg Basically what you have is that entire dirty grey sleeve has somehow been fixed to the Column Bracket to enable the Stalk to be fitted. I've never seen that before. It will also serve another...

The down side of (anti)social media is the short attention span, the randomness and nastiness of people. I used to have a Twitter account when I ran my business, but when I retied, I closed the X account because I simply hadn't used it for 2 years. Too many nasty people on there. The MMOC FB Group i...

Yes, they can get pretty well jammed on over the years with corrosion. Often, giving it a good soaking with penetrating oil/diesel/ATF, etc. for a few hours beforehand helps. I gave it 2 -3 days spraying it in several times from the back, each stud hole and the centre boss, it just wasn't travellin...

I would judge it to be around 3 -3.5" wide, going from the Double pole switch it uses. They're about 3/4" wide body. The mounting lip is going to be around 3/8" Having looked it up, I see now that it is a replacement Classic Jag part. They actually sell in the £150 - £165 price bracke...

Blimey that's pricey; but then having seen what they charge for a 'Dummy RB106' I'm not really surprised.
Although they are by no means the most expensive for a place selling them.

Nice saving, but at least the garage correctly identified the fault. The guy was a bit dim to actually touch the disc though, I think he might have burnt his fingertip.. :roll: I was surprised there had been no noticeable 'pull' to the right on the steering; I assume being FWD the transmission comp...

Now you've explained it was an ebay item, rather than direct from their website, Alles Klar as the phrase goes.

How did you find anything.
I can't get Lucas, Lucas Catalogue, Lucas Equipment, or BMC to return any results...

Just posting this here for a bit of general interest. My 14 yr old Ford Kuga suddenly developed a bit of vibrations on the steering at around 45-55mph. Thinking I'd lost a balance weight, after a few short journeys which confirmed the vibration, I took it into a local Tyre place to get the front whe...

If you look at the Parts books, there's probably as many variants of Horn configuration as there are Seat arrangements..... I gave up trying to understand the thought pattern behind the various decisions; I've probably not not the 'right' set up for the year, but it works, so not a priority. In the ...

Mmoc is not far from me I’m in Matlock and mmoc is in derby which is very handy That's the Club Head Office, principally doing 'office stuff'', although it's an interesting place to visit on an Open Day. The nearest branch to you is almost certainly Mansfield, the MADMOG Branch, they meet on the so...

You have very little chance of finding a NOS Lockheed Servo. In fact, the history of the Lockheed Brand isn't as simple as people think, or 'remember'... Automotive Products (AP) started in 1920. Around 1928-30, they began licence manufacture of brake parts from the American Lockheed Corporation. In...

thanks for the replies. That video you provided Stephen was very useful. As I don't get any lights on to indicate ignition on etc I did put a battery charger on it, it was reading as if not flat. I think I will put the charger back on again and leave it for a few hours. I will totally disconnect th...

I believe the very last Austin vans were negative earth or so a member of my MMOC branch insists regarding his van.......I think the very last Travellers may have been negative earth dynamo but I would need to find a reference for that. Stephen :-? I know BL made a lot of very strange decisions, bu...

Almost all Morris Minors (except the very last ones).... Really Stephen? What gave you that idea? To the best of my knowledge, no Minor ever left the factory Neg Earth. The only area of doubt I have is overseas markets, particularly Antipodean, where they have a lot of autonomy in their assembly pl...

AI can't explain why your original had 3 green wires? Only the original instructions would have provided that info. But you should only need two, 1 for each side. Perhaps the 3rd is the warning light if they are switch wires. I wouldn't expect a Warning lamp line as the Switch Top usually contains ...

I wonder what they would do if a Hillman Imp driver wanted to fill up?

Would they recognise the engine is in the back and the fuel tank, with filler nozzle, is under the bonnet....

As we've established, Minors never had them originally, they were an early/mid 1970s invention. The original aftermarket kits were different from the ones you get now. These days they all seem to come with a couple of wires intended to isolate the main indicators Flasher, so you don't get flasher un...
