seems I've been had again!

Hi all and seasons greetings.

For those that have read my tale of woe about my history of being ripped off with my bus........ well my bad look has continued today.

After purchasing in Oct 11 a secondhand indicator stalk on fleabay for the pricely sum of £82, I was assured it was in working order. My auto electrician has gone to fit it today and it doesn't!!!

Tried to contact seller who has now closed down his account!!!

Anyone on here know of sparkys_vw? He comes from the midlands and has a white dog with a patch on its eye.

If Sparky_vw your a member on here, please contact me by pm so we can resolve this. £82 is a lot of money to me.

Many thanks all.

That's almost my user name , but I'm not in the midlands, don't have a dog, and never sold part of my bus.

Sorry to hear your pain

What's wrong with the switch? Any chance you can make 1 good out of the 2? I've never looked inside one but they are just switches after all.

Matey i think i have another switch in a box of odds and sods i got with my bus......

Let me have a look tomorrow in the daylight in the garage and i'll post up a pic

See if it could be of use to you



And by of use to you, i mean you can have it

I know it's a bit late now, but don't Karmann Konnection stock early bay indicator stalks for about £80?

Graham got one the other day from Heritage i think,was£100 but came with new housing,both bits and was spot on.

 

[sparkywig]

Oh, and I've never had a dog or lived in the Midlands either....

Yeah a few of you guys names did pop into my head 

My first indicator that came with my bus got burnt out by my auto electrician although he won't admit it.

Then I bought the JK one at about 90 notes which is .

Then thought I need a second hand one again, hence my purchase. It seems to just flash the headlights nothing else. JK one is back on.

Bertie you will make my Christmas if you have one. You'll have to change your name to Noel Edmonds. 

I know ya pain i currently have a whole load of stuff that doesn't work from the big named stores :-(

An is it defo the stalk an not other wiring issues? If ones burnt out coulda bugged a whole lota other bits too :-s hope not tho

but stick at it dude the day your driving down the road on ya way on holiday with the sun shining an the music pumpin you'll have a smile from ear to ear an all the bad time will be forgotten

Other than physically wrecking the thing ..... theres **** all to them and certainly nothing your auto elec couldnt put right, are you sure hes worth his salt ?

 

[Blowfish14417]

Jacks that's all that's keeping me going mate. Yeah he's put the JK one back in and all works fine.

He's put a new loom in so I know all the wiring is fine.

Araon, he's done me okay so far. He's wired it up so my indicator flashes left or right and not together which I think helps.

Have a good Christmas all 

 

[bertiethebus]

Havent forgot matey just been stuck out with the family :roll: will whip it out in the morning and take a pic.... Ooo err missus
