One of the best filmed and explained repair instructions I have seen! This made it possible for me to fix my father's car. Wouldn't stand a chance without it. Thank you so much!!
Thank for an excellent video - very clear and informative. Just one addition - I notice there have been a couple of comments in the replies about the headlights being on when the unit is reassembled onto the car. There are two white plastic sliders on the white plastic housing (approx 20:18) in the video. The left hand side one as you look at the picture is the slider which has three positions - off, side lights and headlights - make sure the stalk is set to “off” and the slider is in the corresponding “down” position. The right hand side slider is the headlight dipped /main beam (when the stalk is pushed forward or back) - make sure the spigot is engaged with the slider (in dipped beam position), before reassembly. As is obvious, I found this out by not checking and had to dissemble it all again ! There are three types of men in the world: 1. Those that learn by reading 2. Those that learn by observation 3. Those that p**s on the electric fence and find out from experience !
I am 80 and female but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. My car will have to go to a garage I am afraid but at least I will have a little knowledge of the repair. Thank you very much.
Undertook this repair last night - all in took 45mins. Best advice take steering wheel off first, gives far better access to the cowlings. Problem fixed. Thanks for the video very helpful indeed.
Thanks for this excellent video, I wouldn't have attempted this without these detailed instructions showing every step - the indicators on my daughter's 56 plate 107 now working again! Also had the problem with main beam stuck on first time - found there is a piece a plastic (visible above your thumb and forefinger holding the cotton bud at 20:15) which isn't fixed and can jump off the little knob below it, and end up sitting in front of it instead of on top of it. This stops the stalk moving between the dip and main beam positions, and seems to force main beam on. Worked fine once taken apart (again!) and returned to the right position.
Love the way you home in on the exact fixing points and lugs. I know this is a £300 garage job, as they just replace the part in order to "guarantee the work". Took me just over 2 hrs. Highly recommended and well worth getting the tools to do the job if you have the same issue.
What a life saver! I would not have attempted this repair without your very helpful video - it gave me the confidence I needed to tackle the job. Just one point though, a few others have already remarked on this (see Gerard Newman's comment for the detail). The two white plastic sliders have a tendency to get misaligned as you dismantle and reassemble the switch. Like others I didn't notice and had to go through the whole exercise again!! (Getting really expert now!) You don't mention this at all so please update your video to include this very important point.
Great vid. 3 things… 1) the fix is temporary. Mine lasted 4 months. Got me though an MOT though 👌 2) there are loads of pattern parts. £15-20. If you’re going through the effort to remove all the parts, it’s maybe a better route to replace rather than repair. 3) done this a bunch of times, never managed to remove the speedo cowl first. Much easier to remove the steering wheel THEN remove the cowl. Hope this tweaks are useful to someone. Thanks for the video. Really helped. 👍
Excellent walkthrough of this repair, very clear and easy to follow. Both my left and right flashers are acting up so I'm going to attempt this rather than replacing the entire stalk. It's probably the better option as using a good quality grease will likely prevent it happening again, a replacement will probably get the same problem again at a later time.
@@aaanton11 I found that you don't need to take the cowling off and move the instrument panel out of the way at all, using angled long nosed pliers to get the clamp-clip off and back on.
Superb video. I slowed down the video and repaired my daughter's indicator arm on her first car a 107, by simply following your perfect visual and verbal instructions. The work was made more relaxing and reassuring, having my portable telephone on the passenger seat following your instructions. A big thank you from my 17 year old french daughter and her father. Brilliant.
Thank you for posting this video. Apart from saving me money, it gave me the confidence to tackle a relatively straightforward job. The feeling of achievement is very rewarding. Thanks again
This was so easy to follow took me just shy of an hour all in and saved the mother in law a trip to the mechanics and an expensive unnecessary part and got me in the good books. Thank you.
Just finished repairing my stalk thanks to this excellent video. Very clear guidance and explanation. Just one thing be careful with dip/flash assembly mine fell apart and I needed to check video to put back in correctly. Also I used small mole grips to clamp spring clip that retains stalk.
Quick little update, I lost my rear lights and side lights…replaced fuse, and bulbs, turns out to be the switch on the indicator stalk…..was dreading the price, but now found the stalk on eBay at ….£12.99 anyway , just replaced by watching this video…..over the moon… and I have side lights lol….once again, it great people like you who take the time to share your knowledge that makes life easier for the likes of people like me….thank you,
Great video helped sort my daughters indicators out. I did take the wheel off first though and put it back last, made it much easier for the cowlings and getting the screws out.
Brilliant and comprehensive repair guide. I've just replaced an indicator stalk prior to MOT. I'm not the most practical but this was easy to follow to get the job done. Saved me a fair amount of money too compared to getting it done by my local mechanic.
Another superb video. Clearly filmed and very well explained. Thanks for all the great videos you make to help people like me work on these remarkable little cars.
Thanks Andrew, Its a great car if you can repair it, and these jobs are all doable even if you don't have any experience, that's what I love about these city bugs. Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Really excellent video, saves me a packet. watched it many times to pick up exact location of lugs etc, shown exactly the location , not glossed over quickly. without it I'd have been stuffed and well out of pocket. Great sense of achievement when you fix something important at zero cost. Even copied the slice off the dish scrubber ..all worked a treat, and tips like not putting ignition on with airbag disconnected to avoid fault light were brill. Many thanks indeed, one of the best ive watched.
Thanks for this great video, which gave me, and my limited mechanical skills, the confidence to disassemble the steering wheel mechanism and successfully fix my indicator problem on my aygo. I had one big challenge. I struggled to get the steering wheel off its mount. It eventually came off, but the big plastic ring, containing the airbag wires, flew off too, as the steering wheel gave way. The ring split in two halfs, one dangling in 10 cm of thin flat belt wire. This ring had a very neat rollup mechanism, to have the flat wire follow the steering wheels motion. Took me quite a bit of time to figure out how to put this ring mechanism back together, without breaking the belt wire and align the wire correctly to the current position of the wheels.
Just wanted to add, what a fantastic video. My Mothers indicators had totally stopped working, but with this aid, gave me to confidence to try sorting it. Now working perfectly. Thankyoy
Thanks for such an in depth, precise video. It’s great that not only do you show the breakdown but also the reassembley which doesn’t leave you stranded at any stage. Well done 👍🏼 Btw I also followed your vid on installing 4 speakers on the standard radio helped me out loads 😁 What watch is that also ?
Brilliant vid, just successfully got the indicators working on the 107. Only comment I would make is steering wheel off first and back on last, saves a bit of time removing and replacing the two main panels
Thanks for this. Son has inherited a car from grandma that had sat on the drive for a year and developed this problem. He got to remove a steering wheel before his first drive - a story he will always be able to tell now. We also had the problem with the plastic slider not sitting properly when putting back together so headlights stayed on until we re-seated it.
Thanks so much for making this guide. It took me about two and a half hours to fix the indicator on my 2013 Aygo this afternoon, can't believe they designed it so poorly. Hope I never have to do it again! The TX30s holding the airbag in were ridiculously tight, I would advise anyone attempting this to use a ratchet to get those out instead of a screwdriver. Getting the circular spring holding the stalks assembly off was a real pain, especially as the spring fell off when removing the assembly. Putting that back on again took two people in the end. Trying to put the screw back into the bottom cowling after reinstalling it was a real pain as well, I was hanging out the side of the car with the door sill digging in my back. Again just want to say thanks for making such a comprehensive guide, very glad to have saved hundreds of pounds from going to a mechanic.
YOU BLOODY LEGEND, just fixed the car and over the moon. My first car and realised the left indicator wasn’t working. Thank you for such a comprehensive and mega video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Indicators were suddenly not working after my 2012 Aygo , 55000 miles, had not been used for a few weeks. Thank you for this excellent step by step video on how to fix. Saved me a good wad of money. A big Thank You.
The garage told me it would cost £250 to fix it. Instead I just followed your video and it now works good as new, you just saved me a lot of money, cheers mate! :D
Thank you so much for this incredibly helpful video! After struggling with our car’s faulty indicator stalk, we followed your step-by-step guidance and successfully repaired it. Your clear instructions and attention to detail made the process so much easier. We truly appreciate the time and effort you put into sharing this knowledge-saved us a lot of stress and money. Thanks again!
Hiya, Just done the exact same repair to my '58 plate 107 with 76k on the clock. Used your video as a guide but with a couple of changes which made no difference to the outcome. I removed the airbag and steering wheel first then the cowling etc. seemed easier to get at and then instead of a scouring pad I used a cotton bud dipped in Brasso as it was less aggressive on the contacts. Then a good spray of switch cleaner then some Lubriplate and voila the job's a good 'Un. Great video as usual by the way. Just saved me £80/90. Take care of yourself. 🖒🖒
I’d just like to say thank you very much for saving my life. The day before I took my daughters first car for a MOT the indicators stopped working and I had no time to order a new stork. Watched this video and everything works perfectly. She can now be surprised on her 17th birthday, thanks pal
Cracking Video worked a treat I did leave the dip main beam shuttle out by accident but 2 hours later all together and working fine.... well done. Did this on the Peugeot 107 We have two of these in the family and both doing really well for the girls Ace Cars
I commented a week ago, now I've done the job (following the video) and have a 'as new' indicator stalk! I'd just like to add a couple of things which I did in the hope they will make the process easier for others: Take the wheel off before the you remove the cowlings. They come off (and go back on) a treat without the wheel in the way. The little white connector on the indicator stalk itself. aaanton removes this. It's a pig to mess about with. It can be left in place (I did) and the body of the stalk will still open up to expose the innards for cleaning just fine. Thanks again aaanton for a great video!
Great video thank you. It took me 1 hour and 15 mins from start to finish. A WORD OF WARNING our steering wheel was really hard to pull off and when I did, I wacked myself in the face ! Also it's a great tip about using a green scouring pad to clean the copper contacts . A steering wheel puller kit is about £20 from Amazon if you need one.
You are a legend! I did the job today and it worked like a charm. Slightly nerve-wracking when your car is in bits but it was all pretty straight-forward. The two trickiest bits were pinching the clamp to remove/reinstall the stalk and removing the tiny little white electrical plug from the stalk itself, which took some time. But it was all good in the end. I wouldn't have had a clue without your brilliant instructions. Many thanks!
I decided to give this a try today and thanks to the video it seems to be working fine...so they can be repaired...mechanics just couldn’t be bothered fixing things ..so I’m glad I got this sorted myself...it’s very satisfying 👌👍....thanks
I fixed my car with the help of this guide. Thank you very much! I don't think I would have been able to figure out this is fixable and how to take out the small white connector inside the stalk by myself. It was still hard, but knowing it has a tab on the inside was very helpful.
Great video. I initially bought a cheap replacement one from ebay, but 18 months later it's failed on the sidelight switch. I found the origiinal stalk i removed, witht he faulty indicators and tried this fix. The first time it didn't work completely, as i used 800 grade sanding paper and it cleaed up most but didn't reach the indented area on the copper plates. I removed it again, and cleaned it a second time. This time using a dremel and wire brush. Now it works a treat. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great video. Managed to repair the indicator switch without any issues due to the concise video. The video is very complete, it shows all the required steps unlike all other video's I have seen on this issue. I did not manage to get the steering wheel of the shaft by hitting it with a hammer. But instead just banging the steering wheel itself all around about 10 times with my hands made it come loose. Thanks again.
Excellent guide. Sorted my indicators after it being sat full of water for 6 months. Full beam won't stick on still though. I may splash out on a new stalk if I feel the need. Your other guide sorted my leaking issues too! Silicone around the lights did the trick. No more puddles!
The main beAm issue is down to the small white plastic piece in the switch, information to rectify is in the video description Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Just completed this on my lads aygo 58 plate, worked 100% best video instruction ever followed, my only slip was putting it all back together and left the contacts over off , so had to undo again as the 3 pin contact had moved. fixed and all like new thanks again for the video
So i did this today thanks to the video, in under an hour. The steering air bag plastic trim on this later model the bolts are just there open no cover, if you take the steering wheel off first the trim behind its easyer to remove and put back on. But fab works great it was just dirt on the connections. amazing i could never had done this with out your film fab.. thanks
Tremendous video, watched it then decided to have a go as the indicators on my friends 107 were not working. Took my time, 2 hours, worked with the video running, indicators are now working saving her a garage fee, thank you.
Brilliantly filmed and explained method for what is, frankly, an easy repair........non-working indicators were going to be the only thing preventing our 2011 155k mile, otherwise immaculate Aygo passing its MOT. But referencing Anton's tutorial made the job a doddle and fixed the problem in about an hour. Some good tips included too. Thanks very much for taking the time to film and post this. Cheers!
Thanks very much. Just did the business. The lights must be switched off on the stick when re assembling. Otherwise there's a warning sound and the lights come on even though the ignition is not on. Very grateful to you.
Here mate you just saved me £270. That is the quote I got from Toyota dealership to supply and fit a new indicator stalk. Followed your instruction, I was shitting myself a wee bit to be honest. It all went well though and now the indicators are working again. Thank you very much. My wife loves her wee Aygo.
Thank you for the video, it enabled me to fix my wife’s Citroen C1 car. I wouldn’t have known where to start but following your video I was able to swap out for a new stalk. It took the old stalk apart and OMG the contacts were messed up! I cleaned as best I could but couldn’t get all of the black off, so glad I bought a replacement.
Colin Bulger - For what it's worth. The rubber end of a pencil (eraser) make for a really nice electronic track cleaner. If needed it can even be sharpened to better suite the particular need. Excess comes of by simply blowing. If simultaneously you deep it in a bit of alcohol. There's no dirty electronic circuit or contact that will resist the approach! ;-) It's harder to find nowadays, but an entire pencil eraser, the ones with the small brush in the other end. Is always part of my tool kit. You never know when it will be handy... Cheers
£300 saved, 2 hours work and it was easy to follow.. 2006 C1 is only worth £300!! I tried switch cleaner but to no avail, it was full of black burnt grease but now it works a dream. Car is still only worth £300 though but I'm pleased.
lifesaver of a video. After a while of the indicators working only intermittently, the corroded contacts got so bad that I couldn't even illuminate the headlamps (same stalk). After frustrated hours of testing fuses and such, it turned out to be the stalk. I now have two stalks, one replacement, one original (with the polished end like yours through years of use). As one stalk begins to get corroded, I switch it out for the other so there's always one which has been freshly de-corroded. Hoping to fix the cause in my C1 which is the ingress of water through the various seals into the boot.
My wife’s C1 also suffers from another problem, one which I think accelerated the contacts damage. It gets immensely damp inside. Well not damp, waterlogged would be a more accurate description. Quite literally the carpets in the passenger footwell squelched when you pressed it. Same for the rear foot wells and the boot. Water dripped on her as she drove. A few weeks ago I checked the footwells again and the had dried up. I checked the boot which was still a little damp. I took out the little floor bit to reveal the spare tyre in its well. Very apt word I have to say. It was nearly full to the top with water! No joke, no over exaggeration. I took the tyre out and in the bottom the were 2 round grommets which I pulled out and mist of the water drained out. Just had to get the remainder out with tea towel. I left the grommets off in the hope that if it starts to fill up again mist will drain right out. Sure enough, after the next night of rain, there were signs of ingression again. Any ideas where it might be coming from? I sealed up with silicone the centre brake light about the boot window, but that hasn’t helped. Sorry for the manuscript, thank you for reading and any advice you may be able to offer.
You have com e to the right place Colin, I have a few videos on this subject, this one is the most common fault and sounds like your issue, ruclips.net/video/KeDqViOAX4Q/видео.html, also watch door seal video, ruclips.net/video/lLLkCjrHn_E/видео.html ,and ruclips.net/video/EOVTngkiA0U/видео.html, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
aaanton11 Thanks very much for the links. The leaking seal around the inside of the lights seems to describe my wife’s car problem, so I have followed your video instruction to put a silicon seal around the foam seal. It was quite easy to do, just as your video showed. Not that I am praying for rain, but won’t know if this has resolved the issue until we get some sustained downpours. Thanks again for your assistance. Hopefully saved me a small fortune in garage fees!
Totally awesome…..just watched another video on why the side lights failed, but it didn’t show how to dismantle…….your video is once again perfect….thank you so much
Toyota Aygo of my mother in law had the same problem. Laptop on the passenger seat and your RUclips video on. Dit exactly what you did and.....FANTASTIC. It works like a charm, thank you.
Thanks for this great video , had the exact same problem with my Wife's Citroen C1. Followed your video exactly and fixed the problem many thanks. Only slight difficulty I had was removing the steering wheel, made a simple puller and off it came.
I’ve just followed your instructions to change my indicator assembly on my C1, it all went well and now all fixed .. thank you for you help and experience 👍
Give that man a Big 👍🏼. Thank you. Son's car having MOT tomorrow and having not moved since January (he is yet to take a test) I decided I'd best give it a run. Started on the button but soon realised no click click as I indicated! Hazards also not working properly (had to hold button in) but that was a fairly simple fix. Decided to give the indicators a go having watched this great tutorial. Had to remove the indicator stalk again as first time full beam came on as soon as plugged the unit in - the white D shaped bit of plastic needs to be central. But successfully put everything back, even the screw underneath the cowling! Thank you again
I've just fixed the indicator problem, works great now. But I've got the lights on main beam only.....figured it might have been that loose plastic D that moved when I exposed the copper contacts. I'd noticed on another video it was to the left.... so I moved it from the centre! My bad, should have stuck with aaanton11 only! Still, it will be a lot quicker to redo now I've done it once. Great video - shows the plastic D in the right place! :-)
I’d much rather mend than chuck the whole thing in the bin and replace as is so often the case nowadays and thanks to your clear instructions I got this job done no bother and with no cost beyond my time. Particularly helpful showing how to deal with those little clips on the back of the unit. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Aaanton, today, I took the plunge and removed the indicator stalk assembly from my Aygo. Using your video as a reference, I completed the task step by step so thank you mate. Saved a pot of money too ! Now have my indicators working fine again. Contacts cleaned up fine and were very dirty and gunged up with old grease. The only fiddly bits were freeing the clips and releasing that very strong metal circlip holding the indicator arm assembly on. Overal though am chuffed so thank you A+++
Honestly, great video. Just bought an Aygo I didn't notice this issue. I was so happy to find this video, an hour's job and the indicators are working again. Thank you!
About to have a crack at this today. I'll report back with how it went. Edit: So I had a bit of a wiggle about with it before I attempted the clean and the bloody thing is working fine now. I think the issue was my car was very damp inside from a leaky door. I had a 2 inch puddle in the rear footwell after recent bad weather. I changed the door seals (helped by another of your videos!) and left a few dehumidifier bags in there for a few days and that seems to have sorted it, fingers crossed. If the problem comes back I'll have a proper bash.
Grateful thanks. I made a start this morning - including finding my socket set it took me two hours - but:: 1. I was well prepared thanks to your great video.. 2. A bit of a fight to get the steering wheel off - thought I was going to have to borrow a puller - but another tap and off it came. 3. That clip is awkward as you need to pull the switch straight off whilst squeezing the clip. 4. Cautious about opening the switch as I didn't want to break any of the clips. 5. Inside was exactly like the video. Cleaned and even Brasso used on the contacts - the 3 wipers slightly tensioned. 6. Re-assembled and I realised the Main Beam position wasn;t reached. Stripped again and found I had misplaced a white nylon part.7. Re-assembled into the car - connected up and.....it didn't work. Stripped it again -and this time I used my meter to check the switch was working - It was. Not sure what had been the problem. Wife has now driven it and has passed it off. Many thanks - I am very grateful for your video.
I need to do it again! After 3 years and hardly any use the indicators are temperamental. Needed to refresh the technique - thanks again - a superb video. I have taken to opportunity (or risk) to order a replacement switch of E Bay. If it seems good then all well and good - I can clean to original at my leisure.
Thanks for this excellent video, checking my daughters car this morning before it went for it's MOT and I couldn't believe it the left side indicator stops working!! Quick google finds me your video and an hour later it's all fixed, car just back now MOT passed for another year. Thank you for your hard work putting these videos up.
Great. Video. Problem fixed thank you. Also thanks to the person that raised the full beam issue. In the main video, the stalk is on full beam so there is a small gap between the right hand edge of the white plastic moving piece and the right hand edge of the assembly (before the 2 contacts) if the stalk is on dimmed then there is no gap. The piece of plastic should sit on top of the little bubble beneath. You can check that it is in the right place by toggling the stalk between main beam and dipped, the little plastic cradle should move from left to right (main to dipped) and vice versa.
This is a really good vid, but!!! I had this same issue on mine and I fixed it without having to remove a single screw. Just rotate the indicator stalk in a circular motion for as long as it takes. The indicators will eventually begin to work slowly but surely. Just persevere and keep on. Then move the indicator stalk up and down and this will continue to clean the contacts. Again, persevere and if you're as lucky as I was, they will come back. Edit: Make sure you have the ignition on...not necessary to have the engine running but if you have it livened up you can see when the indicators begin to work again. Good luck!
If you spray some wd40 in there as well it will help clean the contacts, eventually you will need to strip down or replace the stalk, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Changed the stalk today thanks to you video. I had to replace my stalk but you can get brand new guaranteed parts on Ebay. I got it for £15.00. So you don't have to pay £130. Thanks again mate.
Thanks for an excellent guide this was the 2nd time the switch had failed. I had diagnosed the problem correctly ( to much poor quality grease) but didn't have the confidence to do it myself, until i viewed your video.
Just wanted to thank you for posting this video. My Mum's Aygo had the same issue (both left and right indicators were out). This did the trick beautifully.
Great video helped me fix my 107, thanks! A few notes which may help someone else. My car is a 2008 model which has two holes leading to the airbag screws: no covers. The stalk may be tricky to remove: there is a plastic tab behind the metal clamp. Once you've cleaned and reassambled the stalk make sure you can move the stalk backwards and forwards properly. If it is stuck then the headlamps will stick on full beam. This happens if the white plastic piece at 20:20 has slipped into the wrong place.
Great video. Fixed my stalk no problem. I did try it without the airbag on, but once the airbag is re connected, the fault light goes off. Also may I suggest putting the steering wheel back on after the cowlings, this made the job a lot easier
This solved my issue. Thank you so much. I couldn’t get a garage to repair it so this helped me out of a bind. Great explanation and very clear. The tip in the description about the headlights saved me a lot of time too! Thanks again.
Thanks for this guide, worked a treat, we had exactly the same issue with the indicators on a Toyota Aygo, stripped down as per your video and now working perfectly. Slight change on the reassembly with an Aygo in that the speedo cover and steering column cover need to be re-fitted prior to re-fitting the steering wheel etc, but no problem. Saved probably £200 parts and labour at a Toyota dealer, possibly more!? Many thanks.
Tried it on my Toyota Aygo cause parts are similar and Ive been having the same problem for years now, worked like a charm, thank you so much for the vid.
Thanks for such a clear and thorough step by step guide to doing this. About to attempt this on a friends 107, passenger side indicator only works by wriggling the switch. Fantastic help thanks.
Brilliant explanation. Fixed my sons car, would not have attempted it without this confidence giving video. You can get a pattern part for this now, got one off Amazon
Many thanks for taking the time to post this. Followed your video / tuition completely today to fix the same issue on a Citroen C1. Worked a treat. Much appreciated.
One of the best filmed and explained repair instructions I have seen! This made it possible for me to fix my father's car. Wouldn't stand a chance without it. Thank you so much!!
Wow, thanks! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@aaanton11 hi quick question iv done all this, put a brand new stalk in, but lights on cluster still not showing? Can it be fused bulb?
@aaanton11 I have the same issue and question @justclass6491 did you get it resolved?

Thank for an excellent video - very clear and informative.
Just one addition - I notice there have been a couple of comments in the replies about the headlights being on when the unit is reassembled onto the car. There are two white plastic sliders on the white plastic housing (approx 20:18) in the video. The left hand side one as you look at the picture is the slider which has three positions - off, side lights and headlights - make sure the stalk is set to “off” and the slider is in the corresponding “down” position. The right hand side slider is the headlight dipped /main beam (when the stalk is pushed forward or back) - make sure the spigot is engaged with the slider (in dipped beam position), before reassembly. As is obvious, I found this out by not checking and had to dissemble it all again !
There are three types of men in the world:
1. Those that learn by reading
2. Those that learn by observation
3. Those that p**s on the electric fence and find out from experience !
Thanks Gerard for this fantastic information 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks to both you and Aaron! 2nd time I have done this job and still had to fix main beam problem. I must type 3...
Good spot tks
I am 80 and female but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. My car will have to go to a garage I am afraid but at least I will have a little knowledge of the repair. Thank you very much.
Thanks Christine for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Undertook this repair last night - all in took 45mins. Best advice take steering wheel off first, gives far better access to the cowlings. Problem fixed. Thanks for the video very helpful indeed.
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks for this excellent video, I wouldn't have attempted this without these detailed instructions showing every step - the indicators on my daughter's 56 plate 107 now working again! Also had the problem with main beam stuck on first time - found there is a piece a plastic (visible above your thumb and forefinger holding the cotton bud at 20:15) which isn't fixed and can jump off the little knob below it, and end up sitting in front of it instead of on top of it. This stops the stalk moving between the dip and main beam positions, and seems to force main beam on. Worked fine once taken apart (again!) and returned to the right position.
Thanks for this Information, someone else had a similar issue, now we know what to look for, top Banana 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks for adding this. Suffered from the same issue.
Love the way you home in on the exact fixing points and lugs. I know this is a £300 garage job, as they just replace the part in order to "guarantee the work". Took me just over 2 hrs. Highly recommended and well worth getting the tools to do the job if you have the same issue.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
What a life saver! I would not have attempted this repair without your very helpful video - it gave me the confidence I needed to tackle the job. Just one point though, a few others have already remarked on this (see Gerard Newman's comment for the detail). The two white plastic sliders have a tendency to get misaligned as you dismantle and reassemble the switch. Like others I didn't notice and had to go through the whole exercise again!! (Getting really expert now!) You don't mention this at all so please update your video to include this very important point.
Thanks for the great information Jim, I am unable to edit the video now its uploaded but your comments will help others👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great vid. 3 things…
1) the fix is temporary. Mine lasted 4 months. Got me though an MOT though 👌
2) there are loads of pattern parts. £15-20. If you’re going through the effort to remove all the parts, it’s maybe a better route to replace rather than repair.
3) done this a bunch of times, never managed to remove the speedo cowl first. Much easier to remove the steering wheel THEN remove the cowl.
Hope this tweaks are useful to someone. Thanks for the video. Really helped. 👍
Thanks for the tips! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Excellent walkthrough of this repair, very clear and easy to follow. Both my left and right flashers are acting up so I'm going to attempt this rather than replacing the entire stalk. It's probably the better option as using a good quality grease will likely prevent it happening again, a replacement will probably get the same problem again at a later time.
Good luck, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 I found that you don't need to take the cowling off and move the instrument panel out of the way at all, using angled long nosed pliers to get the clamp-clip off and back on.
Superb video. I slowed down the video and repaired my daughter's indicator arm on her first car a 107, by simply following your perfect visual and verbal instructions. The work was made more relaxing and reassuring, having my portable telephone on the passenger seat following your instructions.
A big thank you from my 17 year old french daughter and her father. Brilliant.
Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thank you for posting this video. Apart from saving me money, it gave me the confidence to tackle a relatively straightforward job. The feeling of achievement is very rewarding. Thanks again

Just finished repairing my stalk thanks to this excellent video. Very clear guidance and explanation. Just one thing be careful with dip/flash assembly mine fell apart and I needed to check video to put back in correctly. Also I used small mole grips to clamp spring clip that retains stalk.
Thanks Keith for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Quick little update, I lost my rear lights and side lights…replaced fuse, and bulbs, turns out to be the switch on the indicator stalk…..was dreading the price, but now found the stalk on eBay at ….£12.99 anyway , just replaced by watching this video…..over the moon… and I have side lights lol….once again, it great people like you who take the time to share your knowledge that makes life easier for the likes of people like me….thank you,
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video helped sort my daughters indicators out. I did take the wheel off first though and put it back last, made it much easier for the cowlings and getting the screws out.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Brilliant and comprehensive repair guide. I've just replaced an indicator stalk prior to MOT. I'm not the most practical but this was easy to follow to get the job done. Saved me a fair amount of money too compared to getting it done by my local mechanic.
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Another superb video. Clearly filmed and very well explained. Thanks for all the great videos you make to help people like me work on these remarkable little cars.
Thanks Andrew, Its a great car if you can repair it, and these jobs are all doable even if you don't have any experience, that's what I love about these city bugs. Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Really excellent video, saves me a packet. watched it many times to pick up exact location of lugs etc, shown exactly the location , not glossed over quickly. without it I'd have been stuffed and well out of pocket. Great sense of achievement when you fix something important at zero cost. Even copied the slice off the dish scrubber ..all worked a treat, and tips like not putting ignition on with airbag disconnected to avoid fault light were brill. Many thanks indeed, one of the best ive watched.
Thanks Alan for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Watched lots of RUclips instruction videos but never felt moved to comment before - this one is the extremely good - proper real world fix - thank you

Thanks for this great video, which gave me, and my limited mechanical skills, the confidence to disassemble the steering wheel mechanism and successfully fix my indicator problem on my aygo.
I had one big challenge. I struggled to get the steering wheel off its mount. It eventually came off, but the big plastic ring, containing the airbag wires, flew off too, as the steering wheel gave way. The ring split in two halfs, one dangling in 10 cm of thin flat belt wire. This ring had a very neat rollup mechanism, to have the flat wire follow the steering wheels motion. Took me quite a bit of time to figure out how to put this ring mechanism back together, without breaking the belt wire and align the wire correctly to the current position of the wheels.
Well done Frank great job, Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Brilliant explanation. Easy to follow, I managed to get this job done in a pretty short time. Thanks!
Glad it helped! Thanks Keith for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Just wanted to add, what a fantastic video. My Mothers indicators had totally stopped working, but with this aid, gave me to confidence to try sorting it. Now working perfectly. Thankyoy

Thanks for this. Son has inherited a car from grandma that had sat on the drive for a year and developed this problem. He got to remove a steering wheel before his first drive - a story he will always be able to tell now. We also had the problem with the plastic slider not sitting properly when putting back together so headlights stayed on until we re-seated it.
Fantastic Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 Forgot to mention - hazard warning button had developed same issue. Splitting and cleaning it saved him £ on a new one.
.... and now the interior light 🙃 ... he has confidence to do these jobs himself now though
Thanks so much for making this guide. It took me about two and a half hours to fix the indicator on my 2013 Aygo this afternoon, can't believe they designed it so poorly. Hope I never have to do it again!
The TX30s holding the airbag in were ridiculously tight, I would advise anyone attempting this to use a ratchet to get those out instead of a screwdriver.
Getting the circular spring holding the stalks assembly off was a real pain, especially as the spring fell off when removing the assembly. Putting that back on again took two people in the end. Trying to put the screw back into the bottom cowling after reinstalling it was a real pain as well, I was hanging out the side of the car with the door sill digging in my back.
Again just want to say thanks for making such a comprehensive guide, very glad to have saved hundreds of pounds from going to a mechanic.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
YOU BLOODY LEGEND, just fixed the car and over the moon. My first car and realised the left indicator wasn’t working. Thank you for such a comprehensive and mega video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much for this incredibly helpful video! After struggling with our car’s faulty indicator stalk, we followed your step-by-step guidance and successfully repaired it. Your clear instructions and attention to detail made the process so much easier. We truly appreciate the time and effort you put into sharing this knowledge-saved us a lot of stress and money. Thanks again!
Well Done👏Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hiya, Just done the exact same repair to my '58 plate 107 with 76k on the clock. Used your video as a guide but with a couple of changes which made no difference to the outcome. I removed the airbag and steering wheel first then the cowling etc. seemed easier to get at and then instead of a scouring pad I used a cotton bud dipped in Brasso as it was less aggressive on the contacts. Then a good spray of switch cleaner then some Lubriplate and voila the job's a good 'Un. Great video as usual by the way. Just saved me £80/90. Take care of yourself. 🖒🖒
Thanks, I like then tips you have given, sounds like you have done a great job, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I’d just like to say thank you very much for saving my life. The day before I took my daughters first car for a MOT the indicators stopped working and I had no time to order a new stork. Watched this video and everything works perfectly. She can now be surprised on her 17th birthday, thanks pal
fantastic news, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Cracking Video worked a treat I did leave the dip main beam shuttle out by accident but 2 hours later all together and working fine.... well done. Did this on the Peugeot 107 We have two of these in the family and both doing really well for the girls Ace Cars
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I commented a week ago, now I've done the job (following the video) and have a 'as new' indicator stalk! I'd just like to add a couple of things which I did in the hope they will make the process easier for others:
Take the wheel off before the you remove the cowlings. They come off (and go back on) a treat without the wheel in the way.
The little white connector on the indicator stalk itself. aaanton removes this. It's a pig to mess about with. It can be left in place (I did) and the body of the stalk will still open up to expose the innards for cleaning just fine.
Thanks again aaanton for a great video!
Thanks Paul for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video thank you. It took me 1 hour and 15 mins from start to finish. A WORD OF WARNING our steering wheel was really hard to pull off and when I did, I wacked myself in the face ! Also it's a great tip about using a green scouring pad to clean the copper contacts . A steering wheel puller kit is about £20 from Amazon if you need one.
Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
You are a legend! I did the job today and it worked like a charm. Slightly nerve-wracking when your car is in bits but it was all pretty straight-forward. The two trickiest bits were pinching the clamp to remove/reinstall the stalk and removing the tiny little white electrical plug from the stalk itself, which took some time. But it was all good in the end. I wouldn't have had a clue without your brilliant instructions. Many thanks!
Great job well done, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I decided to give this a try today and thanks to the video it seems to be working fine...so they can be repaired...mechanics just couldn’t be bothered fixing things ..so I’m glad I got this sorted myself...it’s very satisfying 👌👍....thanks
Love these comments thanks des 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I fixed my car with the help of this guide. Thank you very much! I don't think I would have been able to figure out this is fixable and how to take out the small white connector inside the stalk by myself. It was still hard, but knowing it has a tab on the inside was very helpful.
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video. I initially bought a cheap replacement one from ebay, but 18 months later it's failed on the sidelight switch.
I found the origiinal stalk i removed, witht he faulty indicators and tried this fix.
The first time it didn't work completely, as i used 800 grade sanding paper and it cleaed up most but didn't reach the indented area on the copper plates.
I removed it again, and cleaned it a second time. This time using a dremel and wire brush. Now it works a treat.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks for the great video. Managed to repair the indicator switch without any issues due to the concise video. The video is very complete, it shows all the required steps unlike all other video's I have seen on this issue.
I did not manage to get the steering wheel of the shaft by hitting it with a hammer. But instead just banging the steering wheel itself all around about 10 times with my hands made it come loose.
Thanks again.
Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Excellent guide. Sorted my indicators after it being sat full of water for 6 months. Full beam won't stick on still though. I may splash out on a new stalk if I feel the need.
Your other guide sorted my leaking issues too! Silicone around the lights did the trick. No more puddles!
The main beAm issue is down to the small white plastic piece in the switch, information to rectify is in the video description Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 Ah excellent. Leave that for next weekend!
Just completed this on my lads aygo 58 plate, worked 100% best video instruction ever followed, my only slip was putting it all back together and left the contacts over off , so had to undo again as the 3 pin contact had moved. fixed and all like new thanks again for the video

So i did this today thanks to the video, in under an hour. The steering air bag plastic trim on this later model the bolts are just there open no cover, if you take the steering wheel off first the trim behind its easyer to remove and put back on. But fab works great it was just dirt on the connections. amazing i could never had done this with out your film fab.. thanks
Nice work! Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Brilliantly filmed and explained method for what is, frankly, an easy repair........non-working indicators were going to be the only thing preventing our 2011 155k mile, otherwise immaculate Aygo passing its MOT.
But referencing Anton's tutorial made the job a doddle and fixed the problem in about an hour. Some good tips included too.
Thanks very much for taking the time to film and post this. Cheers!
Thanks David for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks very much. Just did the business. The lights must be switched off on the stick when re assembling. Otherwise there's a warning sound and the lights come on even though the ignition is not on. Very grateful to you.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Here mate you just saved me £270. That is the quote I got from Toyota dealership to supply and fit a new indicator stalk. Followed your instruction, I was shitting myself a wee bit to be honest. It all went well though and now the indicators are working again. Thank you very much. My wife loves her wee Aygo.

Thank you for the video, it enabled me to fix my wife’s Citroen C1 car. I wouldn’t have known where to start but following your video I was able to swap out for a new stalk. It took the old stalk apart and OMG the contacts were messed up! I cleaned as best I could but couldn’t get all of the black off, so glad I bought a replacement.
well done for the repair, no shame in replacing the stalk it all counts as a repair, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Colin Bulger - For what it's worth. The rubber end of a pencil (eraser) make for a really nice electronic track cleaner. If needed it can even be sharpened to better suite the particular need. Excess comes of by simply blowing. If simultaneously you deep it in a bit of alcohol. There's no dirty electronic circuit or contact that will resist the approach! ;-)
It's harder to find nowadays, but an entire pencil eraser, the ones with the small brush in the other end. Is always part of my tool kit. You never know when it will be handy...
Cheers

Glad it helped Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks so much mate, the mechanic wanted to charge me £300 for this but thanks to your video I did it myself.
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
£300 saved, 2 hours work and it was easy to follow.. 2006 C1 is only worth £300!! I tried switch cleaner but to no avail, it was full of black burnt grease but now it works a dream. Car is still only worth £300 though but I'm pleased.
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
lifesaver of a video. After a while of the indicators working only intermittently, the corroded contacts got so bad that I couldn't even illuminate the headlamps (same stalk). After frustrated hours of testing fuses and such, it turned out to be the stalk.
I now have two stalks, one replacement, one original (with the polished end like yours through years of use). As one stalk begins to get corroded, I switch it out for the other so there's always one which has been freshly de-corroded.
Hoping to fix the cause in my C1 which is the ingress of water through the various seals into the boot.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
My wife’s C1 also suffers from another problem, one which I think accelerated the contacts damage. It gets immensely damp inside. Well not damp, waterlogged would be a more accurate description. Quite literally the carpets in the passenger footwell squelched when you pressed it. Same for the rear foot wells and the boot. Water dripped on her as she drove. A few weeks ago I checked the footwells again and the had dried up. I checked the boot which was still a little damp. I took out the little floor bit to reveal the spare tyre in its well. Very apt word I have to say. It was nearly full to the top with water! No joke, no over exaggeration. I took the tyre out and in the bottom the were 2 round grommets which I pulled out and mist of the water drained out. Just had to get the remainder out with tea towel. I left the grommets off in the hope that if it starts to fill up again mist will drain right out. Sure enough, after the next night of rain, there were signs of ingression again. Any ideas where it might be coming from? I sealed up with silicone the centre brake light about the boot window, but that hasn’t helped. Sorry for the manuscript, thank you for reading and any advice you may be able to offer.
You have com e to the right place Colin, I have a few videos on this subject, this one is the most common fault and sounds like your issue, ruclips.net/video/KeDqViOAX4Q/видео.html, also watch door seal video, ruclips.net/video/lLLkCjrHn_E/видео.html ,and ruclips.net/video/EOVTngkiA0U/видео.html, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Thanks very much for the links. The leaking seal around the inside of the lights seems to describe my wife’s car problem, so I have followed your video instruction to put a silicon seal around the foam seal. It was quite easy to do, just as your video showed. Not that I am praying for rain, but won’t know if this has resolved the issue until we get some sustained downpours. Thanks again for your assistance. Hopefully saved me a small fortune in garage fees!
Totally awesome…..just watched another video on why the side lights failed, but it didn’t show how to dismantle…….your video is once again perfect….thank you so much

Give that man a Big 👍🏼. Thank you. Son's car having MOT tomorrow and having not moved since January (he is yet to take a test) I decided I'd best give it a run. Started on the button but soon realised no click click as I indicated! Hazards also not working properly (had to hold button in) but that was a fairly simple fix. Decided to give the indicators a go having watched this great tutorial. Had to remove the indicator stalk again as first time full beam came on as soon as plugged the unit in - the white D shaped bit of plastic needs to be central. But successfully put everything back, even the screw underneath the cowling! Thank you again
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I've just fixed the indicator problem, works great now. But I've got the lights on main beam only.....figured it might have been that loose plastic D that moved when I exposed the copper contacts. I'd noticed on another video it was to the left.... so I moved it from the centre! My bad, should have stuck with aaanton11 only! Still, it will be a lot quicker to redo now I've done it once. Great video - shows the plastic D in the right place! :-)
So glad I found your video, saved us a trip to the garage and the cost of a new part plus labour, thanks my son is now happy with his car again.
Glad I could help! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I’d much rather mend than chuck the whole thing in the bin and replace as is so often the case nowadays and thanks to your clear instructions I got this job done no bother and with no cost beyond my time. Particularly helpful showing how to deal with those little clips on the back of the unit. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Glad to help Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Aaanton, today, I took the plunge and removed the indicator stalk assembly from my Aygo. Using your video as a reference, I completed the task step by step so thank you mate. Saved a pot of money too ! Now have my indicators working fine again. Contacts cleaned up fine and were very dirty and gunged up with old grease. The only fiddly bits were freeing the clips and releasing that very strong metal circlip holding the indicator arm assembly on. Overal though am chuffed so thank you A+++
Well done great repair, love to hear a good news story, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

About to have a crack at this today. I'll report back with how it went.
Edit: So I had a bit of a wiggle about with it before I attempted the clean and the bloody thing is working fine now. I think the issue was my car was very damp inside from a leaky door. I had a 2 inch puddle in the rear footwell after recent bad weather. I changed the door seals (helped by another of your videos!) and left a few dehumidifier bags in there for a few days and that seems to have sorted it, fingers crossed. If the problem comes back I'll have a proper bash.
You can sometimes squirt some wd40 in the switch in situ to save removing it Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Tackled it again 💪🏼
That's the way a mechanic works!
Don't replace but repair 👌🏼
Nice one aaanton 👨🏼🔧
Really appreciate your support, this was a great job, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Grateful thanks. I made a start this morning - including finding my socket set it took me two hours - but:: 1. I was well prepared thanks to your great video.. 2. A bit of a fight to get the steering wheel off - thought I was going to have to borrow a puller - but another tap and off it came. 3. That clip is awkward as you need to pull the switch straight off whilst squeezing the clip. 4. Cautious about opening the switch as I didn't want to break any of the clips. 5. Inside was exactly like the video. Cleaned and even Brasso used on the contacts - the 3 wipers slightly tensioned. 6. Re-assembled and I realised the Main Beam position wasn;t reached. Stripped again and found I had misplaced a white nylon part.7. Re-assembled into the car - connected up and.....it didn't work. Stripped it again -and this time I used my meter to check the switch was working - It was. Not sure what had been the problem. Wife has now driven it and has passed it off. Many thanks - I am very grateful for your video.
Great persistence john, well done for the repairs Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 I can only think that my misplacing the white nylon slider had crushed the sliding contacts as I had to re- tension them.
I need to do it again! After 3 years and hardly any use the indicators are temperamental. Needed to refresh the technique - thanks again - a superb video. I have taken to opportunity (or risk) to order a replacement switch of E Bay. If it seems good then all well and good - I can clean to original at my leisure.
Highly instructive at just the right level. Start to finish 50 minutes. Now all working perfectly. Thank you.

Thanks for this excellent video, checking my daughters car this morning before it went for it's MOT and I couldn't believe it the left side indicator stops working!! Quick google finds me your video and an hour later it's all fixed, car just back now MOT passed for another year. Thank you for your hard work putting these videos up.
well done!! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Just wanted to say, I followed your instructions to the letter and it has worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing this information.
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great. Video. Problem fixed thank you. Also thanks to the person that raised the full beam issue. In the main video, the stalk is on full beam so there is a small gap between the right hand edge of the white plastic moving piece and the right hand edge of the assembly (before the 2 contacts) if the stalk is on dimmed then there is no gap. The piece of plastic should sit on top of the little bubble beneath. You can check that it is in the right place by toggling the stalk between main beam and dipped, the little plastic cradle should move from left to right (main to dipped) and vice versa.
Thanks Karen for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
i have done the same thing with my c1, the indicator did not work anymore, and i did the same you did and it was fixed, thanks for this video,
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
This is a really good vid, but!!! I had this same issue on mine and I fixed it without having to remove a single screw. Just rotate the indicator stalk in a circular motion for as long as it takes. The indicators will eventually begin to work slowly but surely. Just persevere and keep on. Then move the indicator stalk up and down and this will continue to clean the contacts. Again, persevere and if you're as lucky as I was, they will come back.
Edit: Make sure you have the ignition on...not necessary to have the engine running but if you have it livened up you can see when the indicators begin to work again. Good luck!
If you spray some wd40 in there as well it will help clean the contacts, eventually you will need to strip down or replace the stalk, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Changed the stalk today thanks to you video. I had to replace my stalk but you can get brand new guaranteed parts on Ebay. I got it for £15.00. So you don't have to pay £130. Thanks again mate.

Just wanted to thank you for posting this video. My Mum's Aygo had the same issue (both left and right indicators were out). This did the trick beautifully.
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video helped me fix my 107, thanks! A few notes which may help someone else.
My car is a 2008 model which has two holes leading to the airbag screws: no covers.
The stalk may be tricky to remove: there is a plastic tab behind the metal clamp.
Once you've cleaned and reassambled the stalk make sure you can move the stalk backwards and forwards properly. If it is stuck then the headlamps will stick on full beam. This happens if the white plastic piece at 20:20 has slipped into the wrong place.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video. Fixed my stalk no problem. I did try it without the airbag on, but once the airbag is re connected, the fault light goes off. Also may I suggest putting the steering wheel back on after the cowlings, this made the job a lot easier
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
This solved my issue. Thank you so much. I couldn’t get a garage to repair it so this helped me out of a bind. Great explanation and very clear. The tip in the description about the headlights saved me a lot of time too! Thanks again.

Thanks for this guide, worked a treat, we had exactly the same issue with the indicators on a Toyota Aygo, stripped down as per your video and now working perfectly. Slight change on the reassembly with an Aygo in that the speedo cover and steering column cover need to be re-fitted prior to re-fitting the steering wheel etc, but no problem. Saved probably £200 parts and labour at a Toyota dealer, possibly more!? Many thanks.
