Hi Guys,

Has anyone changed their flasher relay? Where is it? and where can I get a replacement? (GSF said they did not supply them anymore?)

Thanks

It's inside the steering column shroud as I recall, undo the two screws holding the bottom bit on and it should be there. Fairly standard relay, any motor factors should have one, or try euro car parts.

Thanks m8 I will have a look...

I would buy the relay switch and fit it yourself. I should have taken pictures for people to see, but it really is easy! All you need is a star screwdriver (large) and unscrew 4 screws underneath the steering column. They are quite long so be patient! Once you have removed the screws, unclip the plastic cover and you will see the black relay switch- Just unclip and replace with new. It should take you about ten minutes! I thought it would be difficult but it was quite straight forward. Good luck
