Cheap indicator fix

[trem1]

Here is a youtube link for a very cheap fix for the com2000 issue where the indicator stalk "turns left" by itself.
while i dont see it as a permanent fix it should last awhile and solve some issues

At least spray the sponge black / leave it to soak in black paint before applying (for aestethics )

Previous owner tried similar with bits of newspaper and a bit of black paint

[steve_earwig]

Oh yes, in your face PSA Not sure if it'd work on the seriously buggered but well worth a try

[Doggy]

I would like to be associated with the comments of the last speaker.

[Captain Jack]

Hah! Mine does that too... time to get armed with sponges...

why did i spend £120 on a new unit when this is much handier, and i could have put one of them indicator stalk gatiers over it and it would have looked normal, for people looking to sell their car quick without spending much money on repairs its a great solution

Must say I noticed the guy in the MOT test centre giving my indicators a quick 1-2, they must have cottoned on to quick com2000 fixes

[FarmerPug]

what amazes me about the com2000 is how it breaks, it has big chunky feeling stalks which break so commonly, but i remember my old 1987 205 had really thin and weak looking stalks but they were very strong and never broke

[steve_earwig]

True, it's a completely different design to anything else I've had to bits, admittedly that means cars build before 1980, but there was nothing wrong with the way they worked and the com stalk doesn't do much different. If it ain't broke, f*ck with it so it is

[Welly]

I never really did get my head around these com 2000's - what are they?

As far as I can see it does they same job as the non-2000

What's the fat stalk on the right on this one?

[steve_earwig]

Combines everything in one easy to break and very expensive piece of carp.

Exactly, apart from the speakers.

Either wipers or stereo remote thingy

[Welly]

Speakers? oh yeah the tick-tock noise is built in isn't it?

The fat thing is probably a beefed-up version of the stereo controller I had (which was a skinny stalky thing) I think I remember soops saying that the fat stalk gets caught by the driver knee as he (or she) jumps in

[steve_earwig]

Tick tock, doh ray me and bong, IIRC.

I don't think I ever caught my knee on mine, then again it is lhd au naturel

[Doggy]

Full 9yds version has nearly identical looking CC stalk on t'other side, so left hookers can bang their knees too
