So I replaced my three-stalk unit with a second hand four-stalk unit but the indicator stalks don't work properly.

Top tip, don't forget to put the key into position 2 and disconnect the battery before you start :thumb:
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Chaps - simple question; anyone know if the spring on the indicator stalks can be removed/replaced repaired...??
Anyone on here done it - anyone know of a thread that covers this...??
So I replaced my three-stalk unit with a second hand four-stalk unit but the indicator stalks don't work properly. When you turn on the right indicator it won't stay on the on position unless you hold it; if you indicate left then it won't self-cancel.
Brand new unit is £350
Thoughts anyone...??

I don't think the stalks are repairable. I replaced my 3-stalk unit when I experienced the same issues you did. During the replacement an approx 5mm piece of thin plastic dropped out of the innards of the broken stalk unit, apparently this shears off and causes th fault, it's not a spring failing. Unfortunately I think the only solution is to fit a new stalk unit.
Did mine a few weeks ago. It's not too difficult. Bought mine from this link too. It's the real thing.
Takes about an hour and is incredibly satisfying job for the ammature DIY'er.

It's spot on. Watch it a couple of time and make some notes. You only need three tools.

If your OBC stalk is bolted in to your current set, you could buy the 3 stalk setup, reuse your OBC stalk and save yourself £60 - its £170 before discount, cp-475-ye gives 15% off.
Send the broken one back for a refund!
I'm fitting it because I really feel the need for cruise on the 996 - it's very easy to let the speed increase on the motorway with very small changes in throttle opening. It's especially useful in those long stretches of roadworks with average speed cameras; set it to 50 and relax!
