Peter Mears Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Switch says 12v 15a caterham online parts give 2002 upwards and looks like 250w 10a Will this work with my 89 car and/or should I just go to halfords. Cheers P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilla Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm sure it should work fine, as will one from Halfords - the one from Caterham may be a better cosmetic match for you other switches though. However I suspect they "2002 onwards" will just relate to change in design, so they may not match any better anyway, in which case Halfords will probably be a cheaper and quicker solution!

Peter Mears Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks Halfords it is then. Had to stick my arm out of the door flap yesterday to turn right, made me smile 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 What did you do for left turns? Â By-the-way YHM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Deslandes Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm showing my age but when I learnt to drive there was a hand signal for turning left, involving sticking your right arm out of the window and rotating it anticlockwise (the arm, not the window). If I did it now they'd probably take my licence away 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Mears Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Well I do know the left hand signal as well but as it happens it was only the right side of the switch that was playing up. BTW halfords switches are carp, but it will do for now.

Roger Ford Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Scrutineer at Thruxton wasn't impressed when he wanted to check my brake lights and I stuck my arm out and waved it up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Deslandes Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 excellent 😬, I'd forgotten the slowing down hand signal. Are any of them still in the Highway Code? Edited by - Paul Deslandes on 13 Mar 2014 12:44:20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 13, 2014 Member Share Posted March 13, 2014 Has anyone ever used the signals through the windscreen to tell a traffic controller where you want to go? Jonathan Edited by - Jonathan Kay on 13 Mar 2014 13:03:22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz Hemsley Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Not forgetting the whip signal. Hand straight up and draw a circle in the air. Often used on blats to indicate turn round, we are going the wrong blooming way again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy couchman Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Actually Jonathan I do! When I took my driving test (1970) I'm sure hand signals were still part of the test too. There are of course other hand signals not shown in your link... 😳 Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Deslandes Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I took mine in '64 which means (Mon Dieu) I've been driving for 50 years and I'll have to reapply for a licence in less than three years time  We couldn't wait to start and many of my age group had their first driving lesson on their 17th birthday. Now, with the cost of insurance and everything else associated with owning a car, many kids don't bother until they're in their mid twenties, if then.
