Is it a clicker? You know, the thing that makes the 'tick-tock' noise when you've got the indicators going?
Just a guess.

Is it a clicker? You know, the thing that makes the 'tick-tock' noise when you've got the indicators going?

I hadn't thought of that but I guess it could be. Apart from the flashing light on the end of the stalk, there is no other indication.
Maybe run a bit of electricity through it and see if it clicks? :D
am just wiring it up on the bench now:D
Edit: and it is dead. I have a Bosch P123 unit here that works fine - so I'll use that and throw this one in the bin.
The flasher unit itself does the clicking. :confused:
I am guessing too but perhaps hazard warning lights modification?
One caution about the blinkers - most negative earth 2as did not have blinkers fitted from the factory, and blinkers were fitted by dealers after they became compulsory about 1964 and earlier ones by owners. Many dealer installations and almost all owner ones would not have used Landrover kits (I know the three I fitted blinkers to didn't!), so the system you have may not conform to the factory spec. The fact that you mention a light on the end of the stalk confirms it is not a Landrover one - this has the light on the box that the stalk comes out of.

Thanks Paul & John.
Paul - it's in the bin now. The silly thing didn't work - but the Bosch unit from this car did so I will use that.
John - I have two indicator stalks.
In this car, it is a Tex Magna-Lite unit and has, as you say, a light in the 'base'. The rubber 'follower' is buggered so I have no idea where I will get a replacement if I choose to use it.
The other unit is in the 1971 2a and it has a bulb on the end of the stalk. It has no return mechanism, though. It is a 'Foxton' brand.
The Tex Magnalite is the factory item (but may still be aftermarket and differ in installation details). There was a thread here within the last few weeks about replacing the wheel or the rubber ring - a search should find it. There were several solutions mentioned.Quote:

Yeah - thanks - I remember reading the thread but haven't been able to find it just yet. I recall the poster found an O ring that fitted but couldn't remember where he found it.
Thinking of O rings - I am going to go looking tomorrow for some to go around the instruments so that, when I fit them back in the dashboard, they will have the rubber 'washer' there to help hold them in nicely.
Doesn't on my SIII.Quote:
