My nearside indicator won't self cancel.

Will this cure the problem ?

Or do I have to fork out for one of these?

Or is there another solution?

Not sure a new indicator stalk is the answer. I would take the steering wheel off and check that the ring that cancels the indicators is intact / aligned / working properly first.

Funnily enough I had the same problem and sorted it out yesterday! The alignment of the cancelling ring was the issue in my case. I took the steering wheel off (mine needed a three legged puller) and pushed the boss back on with the ring pointing at the indicator arm. In my case the wheel was then out of alignmnet so I had to remove it from the boss and re-position it. It's working prefectly now so no more embarassing flashing!

Just thought you'd like to know that I finally got round to fixing it...........yesterday.

The boss just needed taking off the spindle and re-aligning.
