Mine used to do this too. It would just randomly blink quicker than normal, as if a globe has blown, but once you take a turn, it would return to normal. I too have a 32 sedan.

I think it's been a loose connection or a faulty globe though.

I normally get this issue after blowing an indicator globe. However (once) I needed a new universal timer thing that controls the indicator timing, I can't remember the real part name....except that it was about $15 and bought from Bursons or Autobarn.

Hi, hope I don't cause bad bumpage of this thread, though I felt it was better to have it in the same spot than start a new one.

This morning my indicators started doing the same thing, just on the left side.

I haven't had the chance to check it out thoroughly yet as I just got to work, but it's only the front left on the front bar that isn't working.

If I put hazard lights on, they all blink at the usual rate, but still not the front bar left indicator.

Is this a normal thing to happen when an indicator globe goes? Or could I expect it to be something else? It's only happened this morning..was kinda scary in traffic when you can only see the reflection of one indicator and not knowing if people know your intentions with turning =S

Also for the OP. Your car being a sedan doesn't mean your car shouldnt have side indicators. As far as I know its actually something that is meant to be done at compliance to comply with Australian standards.

I gather this isnt harshly controlled as their is a lot of imports missing them. But saying that, I have seen plenty of sedans with them.

Have you checked you have side intrusion bars lol?

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
