<DIV><FONT size=2>After a recommendation for 'genuine Lucas indicator/turn
signal flashers' SFB15 8FL I bought one, and find it works just
like a hazard flasher. All the numbers on the unit and the box are
correct, but when you operate the switch there is a delay before the lights come
on, there is no difference in flashing speed when one bulb has failed, and in
fact it flashes at the same rate with anything from one to four 21W bulbs - i.e.
it IS a hazard flasher!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Complained to the supplier and they just said return it for a
refund ... which would cost me almost as much as I paid for it. Complained
to Lucas/Elta and Sales said they hadn't received any reports (!) and there was
nothing they could do. I pointed out they were not 'fit for purpose' (a
legal term in the UK) then I got another email from someone in Technical who
asked for pictures of the unit and the box, and said he would get some out of
stock for testing. That's as far as it has got.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Judging from moans on fora in the UK all people seem to do is
just that - moan, and don't complain. Looks like suppliers don't bother
testing or feeding back complaints either. No wonder so much stuff is
crap. But then I'm pretty OCD about things like this.</FONT></DIV>
