Useless/useful MK1 Eunos/MX5 info

[attym3]

Ok I was on my way to work this morning and I went to switch to high beam but I used the wrong/left stalk. I found out if you push it away from you it gives one wipe of the wipers with no squirt of washer fluid.

That is all.

Saw the posting window on my phone and thought it hadn't posted. Had a lotof that today, crappy mobile site!

Anyway, tried the wipe without wash on the way home - excellent!

As I have a Mk 1 MX-5 and a BMW 318ti I spend most of my time trying to use the wrong stalk.

Remember that an MX-5 is Japanese, therefore it doesn't have lights, it has rights.

On the right stalk.

Funny, I have never had any issues with mixing up the stalk and drive a "normal" car as well as my MX-5.

Except the swapped them around around the MK2/MK2.5 time.

I find it takes about 10 minutes to get used to them being on the Mk1 side (right) but when I get back into my Mk2
or Focus it takes weeks to get used to it being on the left again. I guess indicators on the right are just more natural (for me anyway).
