Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
The plastic tab within the turn indicator mechanism that is attached to the turn indicator stalk broke off and the only solution was to replace the entire three stalk mechanism.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

1999 911 996 Carrera 4 A while ago the indicators began not to cancel every time, and this progressed to the point where they never cancel. Now I don't believe that this is an MoT failure issue, because I don't think it's tested, although it is potentially pretty dangerous - think of those times when you've forgotten to cancel a left turn indication, and the guy in the road on the left assumes you're turning and pulls out! Anyway, the problem has got worse and sometimes the indicators won't even latch, which I think is an MoT failure. Can anyone tell me what part has failed - it seems that there's probably some plastic tab that's supposed to actuate the cancellation mechanism and that's worn or broken? I need to sort this quickly as MoT is due this month. Many thanks

POST 2Original post

I had the same problem a couple of years ago. The plastic tab within the turn indicator mechanism that is attached to the turn indicator stalk broke off and the only solution was to replace the entire three stalk mechanism. It wasn't much more expensive to get retrofitted cruise control by replacing the three stalk fitting with the four stalk fitting.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK - thanks for your reply. It's actually the 2 stalk version that I need for this car, and I see that they're on ebay for around £130, so I'll probably go for that. The cruise control option would be £615 and I don't have the onboard computer anyway.

POST 4Original post

hmmm, retrospective cruise control is a must for me, maybe not an instant job, but its one thing i miss from my daily driver, and it stops me having a heavy right foot!
