Has anyone swapped the indicator to the right?

Wrong. My 110 is on the left, but my 2a is on the right. I could change the 2a easily to the left, but then the mechanism would be in front of the auxiliary gauges.

I'll be driving a ten year old Ford Courier on Saturday, I can guarantee at least two to three wiper switches approaching intersections in and around Tamworth. :D

Move the auxilliary guages to the right! ;)

i often wash the windows in anger when i am in the other car. switching the horn pusher would be helpful too.....

Yeah agree but what I can't understand is that all Jap and Asian cars in Europe are on the left too. No new cars in the Uk have them on the right.

So what I have always wondered is do they make them on the right for Australia or Australia and Asia and on the left for Europe and the rest of the world.

The UK probably got forced into it to be in the EU or it's previous incarnations. My 2As had them on the right and the Holdens I grew up driving had them on the right. Not sure what British cars before 1970 had as the only ones I have had are Land Rovers.

I believe it's an ISO standard. Which the japanese mostly don't follow. The jap cars we get in NZ are almost all japanese built and are variations of their JDM cars.

But 100 series cruisers in NZ were indicators on the left.

On the 75 88"series 3 i had i moved them to the left like all the other land rovers i had:)

I have retained the LHS indicator stalk and get around the problem by just turning left rather than right, and vis versa.
Takes a bit longer to get there but that's part of the joy of driving a landrover

My 1980 RRc had indicators on the RHS my 1984 (MY85) RRc had indicators on the LHS.

I understand that in Europe and the US the indicator stalk was always on the LHS.

Whatever we think, it is very efficient for for the manufacturer as they only have to make a steering column for one type instead of having to have a duplicate parts manufacture and supply chain for essentially the one assembly.

In my '85 RRc its not an issue as it has a smaller aftermarket steering wheel and you can operate the stalk with your fingers without taking the rest of the hand off the wheel. It is an issue if you want to indicate while changing gears in a manual.
