Does anyone know where I can get the pcb that attaches to the steering column and controls the cancelling of the indicators?

Over the years the disc that rotates through the optical sensors on the board has been misaligned and damaged the pcb so the auto cancel doesn't work. Yes I know I'm picky, but want it right.

Thank you!

If it's a dry/cracked track/contact, you could have it re-flowed with a heat gun.
Easy to do yourself too.
Or I could do it for you np.. it takes 30seconds.

One of the sensors has been broken, possibly ripped out of the board at some point, tracks broken/missing and lots of wires added in an attempt to fix (unsuccessfuly). Think that is repairable?

Does sound like it's in a bit of a state.
But, if it can be refitted in such a way that the sensor is in the right place then it's worth the effort.
If you can't get one from a breaker and assuming all the parts are there, I'm happy to spend a few hrs tinkering if you like. np.

Thanks for the offer, but at least one component, one optical switch, is in pieces.

I've been in touch with all of the well known breakers but no luck. Also several dealers, but they say there are no more boards being made so hard to find.

My old jag had no cruise control when I got it. I called a few breakers asking if they had the bits I needed to retro fit an original system. They all said no. But when I asked a breaker if I could take a few bits off one of the cars he was breaking I ended up getting all the parts I needed. I guess sometimes it's just too much work to remove some parts. Maybe if you pay a visit to a breaker they'll let you extract the pcb yourself?
