I said I'd never put this thing back on as it was always off within a week for one thing or another, but see how long it stays on this time....

I'll pull the column apart for a looky look but is this common with a common fix guys?

Turn right only flashes 3 times then stops, sometimes it only flashes when you push the indicator down too...

the usual indicator issue is the fast flashing, if it stops and only stays on when held then sounds like a stalk issue, like the mechanism isnt staying contacted, if u just blip the indicator down it will do a 3 flash for changing lanes ect so sounds like its not engaging to stay on until the wheel turns back

I know yuk. Now these ain't just VE headlights hey? The Clubsport has its own lights or are they shared with any other VEs anyone know?

Gonna source out some replacements...

Be aware of AM ones, if you go down that line as they can be faulty from new. I've asked for a replacement under warranty on one of mine as the clear has lifted and I've now lost about 40% of the coating on one light. Don't know what my chances are of getting one sent, especially when it's not practical to pull my car off the road for three - four weeks while I wait to see if they honour a claim and get a new one to me if they want to inspect the old one..
