Matt Seabrook Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 If this is not loud enough then you could wire it into a set of air horns mounted under the dash. You should be able to hear them with a skidlid on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steppenwolf Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Although it is a great reminder that you have left your indicator on, it is also a noisy pain in the a**e so you don't want to go too loud, just loud enough to remind you!

Si Stocks Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Although it is a great reminder that you have left your indicator on, it is also a noisy pain in the a**e so you don't want to go too loud, just loud enough to remind you! I agree entirely. There was one on my car when I bought it and it is the proverbial pain in the a*se! It's particularly embarrassing when sat waiting to turn out from a side street. with pedestrians walking past, wondering why the strange looking red car is beeping like their kid's tonka toy. I think I have one of the "loud" ones - well, loud enough to be clearly audible over the noise of my V8 anyway - not only loud, but slightly tired sounding...right, that's it, it's coming out...I've talked myself into it...I'll just have to be the tw*t who drives along with his indicator flashing!!! Sorry, rant over...it's the one thing that drives me mad on my car... S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren E Smith Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I thought only "tuggers" had warning repeaters installed. Is this a novel use for a Westie - high speed caravan hauling? and for me its a pain in the having the warning repeater going when the trailer / van is on the tintop, fxxk knows what it's like to put up with all the time....

studbuckle Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 even cheaper. replace the indicator relay with a 'larger' one and mount it on a Aerosol can lid. The Click and small echo will sound quite pleasant and might just do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smayo Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I test drove one of the factory cars with the timed self cancelling indiactor, and thought it was a pain in the . Every time you were at a junction onto a busy road, it would cancel way too early. I followed steppenwolf's instuctions. Only problem is gaetting the volume right. Mine now seems to be TOO LOUD when sitting in traffic, and sometimes not loud enough when my foot slips all the way to the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studbuckle Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 speed sensitive noise.... hmmmm anyone want to take up that challenge? tick tock at idle and hammer on metal bucket for that 80mph overtake like a banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppenwolf Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Hang on, I feel a circuit diagram coming on ..... Let's see, I need the following:- Electret Condenser Microphone Pre-amplifier chip Analog to digital converter Microprocessor Digital to analog converter Or how about a simpler solution ...... Take a 'sniff' from the throttle position sensor and use that to drive a variable voltage output device inversely ....... Nope, cut the wires and let the b**ger flash ......

Si Stocks Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 If you get the volume wrong, I'll give it a month before you want to rip the thing out and kick it back from whence it came! Anyway, hopefully you'll get it "more" right than the person that fitted mine!!! Cheers Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordy Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Ive got push buttons on my steering wheel, which trigger my indicators and ive programmed my control box to only have them on for 20 seconds max - so i cant leave them on - cool or what!!! and if i hold both buttons down for 3 seconds, i get hazzard lights flashing - no need for the hazzard light switch cluttering the dash - not sure if this is legal though, guess il find out at MOT time - eek.

brianm Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 There are several available from the RS catalogue that are adjustable for both volume and bleep tone, at least you'd be able to change the thing when it gets totally nauseating Brian.

JimNoble Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I just swapped the standard indicator warnign lights for some very bright 14.5mm panel mounting LEDs. Even in direct bright sunlight, you still can't miss the fact that you've left an indicator on. As an added bonus, you can scare small children when you drive at night and your face lights up an eerie green at every junction... (I really must do something about the full beam one though - the blue version is very, very, bright! Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul M Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 I put 2 on , 1 left, 1 right, bought from Maplins for about £2 each. Noise is fine until you put the Hazzards on and get both going at once ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
