I was just at NAMGAR's GT-43 in Richmond, Virginia. One of the tech
sessions there was presented by Kelvin Dodd of Moss Motors. He
urged everyone to provide feedback when there are problems. There
are a lot of ways things can go wrong. Parts that have been
trouble-free for years can change. Sometimes suppliers make changes
or outsource to another company. Anyway, his point was that they
definitely want to know. Multiple reports of the same problem raise
the priority. <br><br>

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!<br>

<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.<br>

<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.<br>
