[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 146091, member: 302"] I agree with Hugo completely, in fact it was Hugo who educated me a few years ago when I had an errant third gear problem, when he suggested that it was an indicator problem, and it proved to be so. But I quite like my indicator, so I slimmed it down a lot in an attempt to solve the problem, and stop the gear lever and the indicator clashing when lifting the gear lever up, I dare not remove any more metal off the indicator, so is it heresy to suggest removing a small amount of aluminium in a localised area off the gear lever, just enough to create the necessary clearance, I don't think it would create a weakness, in fact I could probably make it barely noticeable. Shall I go and stand in the corner? [/QUOTE]
