Finally got a few hours to look at the DIY Dynamic turn indicator mod using a relay that's up on You Tube.

Here's mine; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XkaMlPAamA  (link to the tutorial in the description).

I just wouldn't be brave enough to chop the factory loom  :shocked:
Looks good though. :afro:

You don't have to cut into the loom. You just unplug the loom from the light and plug the resistor in between the light and loom. 2 minutes per side.

You should get some to go with your stage 1 :whistle:

The vid within the vid that Monsta linked to had the guy chop the loom. I slid off my chair and under the table at that point.
The Carsystems style looms are much more user friendly when you're in warranty and don't want to cut factory wires but are quite expensive. Some of us have Stage 1's to save up for.
Not me though, it's staying standard this time.

I'm going to get a Stage 1...

Enable pace car indicators - bit different again and can be turned off.

Yeah I did that with OBDeleven but didn't like it, the alternate blinking looked weird. This is more subtle.

So discovered a chunk missing out my near side headlight lense few months back. Daytime runner also stopped working. Few days later got a bend light error.

Quote from local Indy was £750. Needless to say I said I'd sauce one myself. Couple months looking and I found a complete unit on eBay for £295, result!
I'd like to condiment you on your purchase: )
... did you buy the car with HP?  :wink:

Leasehire buddy
i don't think he was asking anything dude, I think it was all to do with you incorrect spelling of sauce (source) 😉

  :laugh:

My bad! 🙈

Took it in for its 2nd service.  Went it in one piece, came out the same plus a few fingermarks on wheels.  All good.

And here's what awaited him if it hadn't been "all good".....
