Generally when indicators flash fast it means that one or possibly more indicator lights are not working or plugged in correctly so dont worry about the ones flashing fast (as you know its the front indicator lights that aren't working)

You may have a fault with the way you've plugged in the new headlights or somethings gone faulty with the indicator relay (which would seem a bit coincidental)

You might be able to just call up your local sparky who can offer you better advice :D

Ive put in a new set of headlights coz i cracked my old ones (also have new bulbs and threw old ones out)

the headlights themselves work fine on both high and low beam.

its just the indicators that are giving me hassles.

With hazard lights all work except the front ones.

Ive tried disconnecting and reconnecting them, ive also tried using the plugs from the only set with the new bulbs

and no success.

nope..havent tried to rewire anything ...

I'll check the fuses when i get home and where would i find the earthing wire?

cheers :D

ok..so i was fidling around tonight....and i just realized...that the indicators only work when the hazard lights are used (minus the front ones which only come on..and stay on solid....when i turn the lights on)

when i sit in the car and indicate nothing happens on the dash and nothing happens outside...except for the front ones staying on ... :)

the earths are connected......i checked the starter indicator and the turn signal fuses and they were ok.

ideas ppl...throw em at me....

atm all i can think of doing is getting 2 gingys and hiding em under the hood and when i indicate it jabs em and they poke there head outside..... -_-

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
