on MY95 cars the indicators are on the righthand side. Can I switch them round to the lefthand side? Which model year did they change over to left-sided and can I retro fit to MY95?

Cheers,

Andy

Fed up of wiping my windows when I want to indicate and flashing people when I want to wash the windscreen!

Cool

I found this when i 1st drove my scooby (UK MY97) as it was a bit strange & i recall driving a fellos scoob at a meet which was a UK MY98 which then had on left side which was again strange to get used to. Tested a import type R STi jobbie MY99 the other day & that was on the right thou lol.
So dunno exactly which models have which side but to be honest i wood just give it time to get used to, presuming yer new to it , & save what inevitably woodnt b cheap 4 the list of other mods

You get used to it. I drive a landrover during the week with the indicators on the left, and a 93 wrx with them on the right. Took me a few weeks to stop flashing people while trying to put the wipers on Now it's second nature

Si,

not new to it, just started alternating between Lotus Elise when it's sunny. Got used to the Elise last couple of weeks and now back in the Scoob.

I wonder if a UK 98 control stalks can be fitted to a UK 95?

Scooby_Si - I meant in the landy. If I pull the left stalk once towards me then I flash people, when I meant to put the wipers on once Seriously though, surely it's a lot of hassle to swap them over when most people get used to it anyway. I've not used the controls incorrectly in either vehicle for over a year now Maybe I'm just a lazy bugger
