dieselgeek ones dont have the square head version which i have and they don't offer the other circular part which is used for the side to side movement in the photo above

my side to side cable end bushing is completely missing so if someone has one spare, please let me know!

Little bit more expensive but grüvenparts do the billet stainless repair blocks that replace the whole head for both cables

[doridori]

yeah i know of the gruvenparts billet blocks, but don't really want to spend that much money on them so just looking at getting replacement bushings if possible.

Thanks anyway

Guven parts bits are aids, could never get them to hold on.

I ended up welding a bit of plate to the end of the cables and made it all solid. Was good

[doridori]

Lol well thankfully I'm too poor to buy them haha

Good idea, but unfortunately out of my skillset. No idea why it's so hard to find the replacement bushings. Looked at all the diagrams but can't see a single thing which mentions a part number !

left blinker decided to not work all the time today, so thinking it may be the contacts on the indicator stalk.

Any idea on how to fix this or anyone have a spare?

[junyip_69]

i had to pull off my steering wheel and the plastic trim surrounding the steering shaft, 3 bolts hold the blinker and wiper assumbly. they just pull off and then apart from each other. nothing difficult to do, the contacts inside wear out and dont make a solid connection when operated. youll see it when you take it out

I have a spare combination switch. PM me if interested

[doridori]

thanks guys for the info

car is currently in for a service replacing the radiator and cooling system bits.

Will take it off and see if contacts need a clean first and if that doesn't help i'll shoot you a PM Speed!

Also, my rear wiper turns on easily enough, but takes like 20 presses to turn off.... if i'm lucky.

Have been told that because it turns on every time, it shouldn't be the contacts and may be the relay instead.

Any thoughts?

[Speed]

No worries. I have a room in my house that is literally full of mk3 parts. Still need to flog of the maroon panels!

[doridori]

ohhh of course you do lol nearly forgot about that one hah!

hope you got all you needed to get out of it

Anyone done a brake booster vacuum line replacement? Mines hissing at the top fitting on the manifold. I got the spare vacuum line to replace it with but don't know what i need to do.

[HaydEn]

Undo one end. Put replacement on. Undo other end. Put replacement on.

Grimshaw St about 10 minutes ago, green VR and maroon (VR?) one nearly right behind the other.

[doridori]

Wow double spotting, rare!

Also does anyone know how to fix this?

Handbrake light came on today so decided to check brake fluids but then:


And the disintegrated rubber nipple thing that was once on top:


Any clues on how to fix this?

Also noticed that on the purple thing that is sticking it, there seems to be a washer and 2 contacts on he bottom.

What is that for and what should I do to fix this ?
