monkeyb0y Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hi all, Driving today, up to a junction, indicated right, and as i made the turn, and straightened up, the indicator wouldnt cancel and kept "clicking in the steering cowel area" as thou a sprocket was stripped or somat broke... It cancels manualy and operates OK if the lever is used, but wont cancel with the motion of the steering shaft.. Is this "the usual" symptom to say its time for a new stalk - the old ones worn out?.. they're only £15 quid but im just hoping for clarificating that this is the case and its not just an adjustment? thanks Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bought a new stalk and when we came to fit it we found the plastic "reset ring" around the column had shattered and wasn't able to "trip" the stalk anymore. Our local main stealer had a repair kit (can't remember the part no.) which was about £15. Might be worth removing the steering wheel and chacking before ordering a stalk. Hope this helps. Scrumps.

bear Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I agree with Scrumps. There should be a lug on the ring which on my RHD Disco 1 200tdi is at the 9 o'clock position. With the steering wheel and cowl off (and front wheels jacked up to make things easier) it's easy to see how the self-cancelling works and find the fault.
