  2. Some setups have a little pop up tab that gets depressed when the steering wheel comes back round off lock to cancel the signal, they can be a separate lump from the stalks themselves, but attached to them if you know what i mean. The tabs can break or the contacts that they sit in can go weak and so the tab doesn’t make contact with the steering wheel to activate the cancel. Drop you column covers off and get ya torch out to see if you have this setup.

  19. How long between oiling and waxing did you leave it Steve? Reason i ask is, I used/fitted MDF Oak as my window sills when i did the house up, finished with bull nose trims tacked on to front and sides that were left exposed, the used bri wax to finish with the aid of a blow torch. By using the blow torch very delicately i’d apply a liberal amount of wax to the surface (light oak) then flash over with the torch, the wax when heated would seep in to the grain (you can see this happen pretty much instantly) once in the grain i would pull the torch away and buff the wax up with a cloth till it became non tacky and smooth to the touch. If you left the torch on too long then it would scorch obviously, so was all about the timing. The finish is ace, perfect match with my upvc golden oak frames, but it only lasts about 12 months before it starts to go dull again. I have repeated the process each year but becomes harder and harder to get the original finish. I’m wondering if a total strip back and oil, then a re wax may have a better longer lasting effect 🤷‍♂️ trial and error will bring the results i guess.
  20. Oh look!…. Another generic google pic! How original of you. Your the best, do keep it up!
  21. You might might want to re tension the wires on your fence Leslie….. they appear to be sagging more and more of late! [emoji849][emoji849]
