Mark (smokey mow) Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 They normally only open for a couple of Saturdays in a month and the dates are shown on the front page of their website. http://westfield-sportscars.co.uk/ Unfortunately it looks like you're out of luck for tomorrow.

Pistol Pete Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 When you controller, do you mean the flasher unit? If so i picked up one the day at Motormania, any good motor factors should have one. Failing that what are your hand signals like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 You know what Pete I looked at their website to death....... and didn't see the times..... I'll have to take a plug at the local factors and see what they have...... and yeah the controller unit has got some sort of gremlin in it.... I have right indicators but no left...... I've chased the wiring down and can't find a short anywhere so reckon it's got to be the timer part of it..... or some such..... You keeping well??

Forgot you had those fancy indicator switches, still worth trying a local factors they must be from a production car of some sort. All good here, just getting ready to head off and watch the speed series guys at Snetterton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that's the part..... how spooky that the website shows "in stock" that could re-ignite the recent flaming they've been given on here. Thanks anyway.

Nemesis Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Well well well..... what a surprise, rang the factory shop today to purchase an indicator unit and a fuel sender unit, both listed as in stock on the website, but actually out of stock, 4 to 6 weeks lead for the Indicator, and a whopping no idea for the sender..... when I asked why they were listed as in stock I was told a story of "we can't list them if we put them as out of stock".... I pointed out that that wouldn't be a good line to tell the Trading Standards peeps should they care to ask....... and then I asked if they could notify me when the stock became available...... the answer was along the lines of "err no not really"..... and "the people who have paid for the stuff will get theirs first"...... The poor lad on the phone didn't really deserve the serving I gave him but it was along the lines of "that's blackmail then is it?" If I could find one of the indicator units elsewhere I'd be more than happy to pay stupid money for it, as for the sender unit got one off the items for sale list on here. What can I say other than how gutted and pi**ed off I am with Westfeild, it's sad to the point of pathetic that they just don't seem to keep any of the more vital lines in stock. Rant over time for a blat in the evening sun...... Right turns only tho...... for the foreseeable future.... Nem........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain m Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I looked at all the ways to prevent the annoying ( some quite expensive) problems of forgetting to cancel the indicators, I eventually bought a motorcycle warning buzzer for £3. I have since put some tape around it to reduce the noise as in traffic other motorist often though there was a lorry reversing, A cheap and easy to fit practical solution.

XTR2Turbo Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Might be worth checking all your indicator bulbs are working as a failed one my mess things up also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hi Barry, I hope you're not in too much of a rush for this part, I just spoke with parts and the purchasing guy said that they are at least 3 weeks away..... I bet you were quoted 2 to 3 weeks back in April...... but then again it was April 1st...... just saying.... Nem...........

Rab (bombero) Reid Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 When I had this unit fitted (gone over to billets now), I went straight to Durite for the switch ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
