Hi guys, my indicator stalk packed up yesterday. I've looked on you tube and there are some helpful videos on how to replace the stalk unit.
I'm in a quandary though. When i brought the car it has the cruise control stalk fitted as standard. However, some one has fitted a nasty retro fit unit that hangs out, just under the steering wheel shroud, and has been stuck to the dash. I've been tempted to cut it and stick under the shroud out of sight. However, as i've now got to replace the stalk unit i'm thinking that if i'm buying a new stalk unit i can buy a 2 stalk unit and dispense with cruise control completely, cut the retro fit and look tidy (albeit without cruise control that i don't use). However, i could buy the correct 3 stalk unit in the hope that the problem that led to retro fit relates to the stalk unit that i'm replacing? I'd also like to keep the car as close to factory as possible.
Any clues as why someone might have retro fitted on something that was standard and what potential challenges might be presented in me trying to reinstate it?
ps - the listings for new stalk units differentiate between those with or without on board computer. How will i know if ive got an onboard computer?
