hi guys - looking for a cruise/indicator stalk for a '51 facelift 2.6 v6 auto saloon mig - any out there ?  :y

second hand is false economy, full beam tends to wear and come on when braking a heavy.

They are only £35 from a dealer brand new....

i've got a c/c stalk.
is there any difference between facelift and pre-facelift?
If not, got one here in very good condition  :y

Nope all the same, only difference is the 2.5TD one has less wires  :)

While we are on this subject, has anyone got a cruise control stalk for a 2.5td ?  ;D

I have one, will test it tomorrow.

For crying out loud, how many times do I have to say it  >:(


FOR CRUISE STALKS, BUY BRAND NEW

How much are they brand new?

Which is fine if you have £35. ;)

Got one for a fiver from a mate - still to fit it though..........

So what you're saying Pedro, is if that stalk you got for a fiver only lasts a year, then you have to buy another one, which also only lasts a year, and you keep having to buy stalks that only last you one year, then it's going to be a total of seven years before you find yourself thinking 'oh fiddlesticks, had I have bought a brand new one seven years ago, I'd have just broke even!' Of course, by then your 'brand new' stalk would be seven years old, anyway.

Sorry, but I'm with Pedro on this, and going to save myself thirty quid, which shall be otherwise invested in ale.

Man after my own heart. Just don't D&D matey!!! ::)

If I thought I'd be keeping my Omega for seven years, then perhaps I would buy a new one, but chances of a car with excess of 135K on the clock lasting me even half that long are pretty remote (even though I love the car to bits!), so used will suffice for my needs!

Your choice of course. You could have had mine for a fiver.  I won't put it on here, will sell on ebay then.

Can I buy it for a fiver :D I want to sell it on ebay for £25 ;D

That's the going rate last time I looked at SH one's.

Please yourselves.

Hope when you're flashing the car in the side road waiting to pull out, they realise its not you letting them out, but a fecked stalk.

Dear me its like school........
