As an aside, can a high level lamp be retro-fitted to an earlier model like mine?

I noticed you drive an estate, do you mean like this .........

this one is on the bay for (buy it now) ...£14.95

maybe you can get one cheaper from the breakers.

Omega General Help / High level brake light

« on: 28 September 2007, 07:29:25 »

Returning home last night, I passed a parked up police car, nothing wrong with that, you see them most days.
Further along my way, I noticed in my mirror, this car rapidly getting closer, did'nt think much of it, untill they flashed the blue whirlies.
I pulled over and got out of the car, (I knew I was'nt speeding, co's thats naughty

)
They asked if I knew my high level brake light was'nt working, I said no I did'nt know, (me now thinking, is it law that because it's fitted it must work ?). So basically, they pulled me over to let me know, I said I'd get it sorted, and let me on my way.

Now, because it's a row of led's, surely they can't have all blown, I've looked in the fuse layout in the hand book to see if it's a seperate fuse :-/ anyone know the first place to look/check before the car gets stripped down

?

Regards.... Carper

Got to agree with Jimbob, phone round your local breakers and see what they have. Obviously, you want your lights sorting asap, but I would'nt be hesitant and pay silly money. Just looking on the bay, if you consider replacing with new, here's a pair of new one's, offering one at (buy it now £47.95) but do have the pair. Good luck

I've been reading up in the Guides about Fitting Cruise (Facelift Only). Came across indicator stalk on the bay... buy it now £20.99 + £1.89 pp.

I do'nt disbelieve this in the guide...

Go to vauxhall dealer and talk very nicely to mechanic. Cruise enabled with Tech2 in five minutes. Donate to mechanic's favourite charity.

Although this statement in the sellers description wont deter wether I buy one or not, just wondered thats all

( [quote from seller )...If you have the fly-by-wire then you should only need 2 switches for under the pedals and then the ECU resetting (take battery off for approx 30 minutes) and you have cruise control..

Is the sellers above quote true

Indicator Stalk........
