Hi,

looks like I need to replace the indicator/flasher switch as the left indicator hasn't worked for about 7 months now!

Looking at just over Ԛ£40 from ECP. Looking at scrappy's most donor's have steering wheels locked and in place not helping removal.

Any tips on getting past this minor obstacle at the scrappy's?

Regards,

Don't think there's any way to remove, without removing the steering wheel first I'm afraid, have a look on E-bay, I've sold a few on there for less than Ԛ£5.

Take a hacksaw to the scrappy and saw down directly behind the steering wheel on the top of the steering column.

Give the wheel a good tug and the steering lock will break and you'll be able to remove the wheel.
