    Has anyone swapped the indicator to the right?

    Has anyone swapped their Defender's indicator to the right hand side?

    I swapped my RR classic's two stalks over (left to right, right to left). Dead simple. The only "problem" was that the symbols were upside down.

    I'm surprised this is an issue, I just use the wipers to indicate when jumping in Japanese utes.

    It was a bother to me when our second car had right-side indicators, but the current second car has left-side ones as well, so no problem.

    The current second car will be replaced by the S2a next, so we'll be able to put the indicators on the left as well.

    I prefer them in the left but I guess that's because I come from the UK and most are on the left being European cars
    Our Land Rover does not leak oil! it just marks its territory.......

    Did you rewire the wiper stalk so it didn't work upside down?
    I did so it worked like japanese cars. Then I bought other euro cars which have wiper stalks which work upside down.

    I've since worked out that indicator stalk on the left works better for a manual in round-abouts. It means your right hand doesn't leave the wheel.

    No, I left it as it was.

    I don't find it an issue, I jump from a hilux to the Landy all the time, may very occasionally, hit the wipers instead of indicators.

    I only found it an issue while I was at Uni and driving a cab for income. Spending 8 to 12 hours in an XF Falcon and then getting into my RRc was always a problem adjusting back.

    I flipped the RRc over which made the wiper switch counter intuitive. Once I stopped driving a cab* I switched the RRc back.

    Now I want to switch the SIII for blinkers on LH.


    * never felt right about driving a cab as I knew where I was going!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
