I was originally living at Henley beach when I first moved to aus, mum bought the hair salon just up from the square that used to be Henley palladeum then renovated and changed the name to niche and sold it.

had it for around six months only thing that really makes it distinctive is the sunroof... my high beams keep coming on when i indicate is the best option to replace the stalk?

Ahk well ill be on the look for sh with a sunroof ;)
It probably could be a wiring issue unless the stalk flicks into highbeam when you indicate?
You should bring it out on our cruise on the 6th of october. :D

flicks into high beam when i indicate, i don't think its the wiring when i just touch the stalk they come on and off. i found a new stalk on ebay for $15 i may give a go. ill have to sus if i have that day off work but would be keen for a cruise!

does it flick into high beams when you indicate in both directions?? If you rapidly turn your left indicator in and off repeatedly in rapid succession.. does it still come on?

Will just be the stalk, that have two plastic bumps on the end that they rotate on. These wear from use and will cause this. Happened on my calibra. Took like 5 mins to swap it put

Mate same with my indicator stalk on my calibra! after trying to revive it to get it to work properly and not cut out.. a new one was the fix!

Welcome to the forum.

As someone who lives in Semaphore Park, just up the road from where you are, I can tell you that the U-Pull-It at Gillman probably has only about 3-4 SB's from what I saw down there today. Can't remember if they had the indicator stalks or not though.

On second thought, I'd have one still in Adam's old GSi. I could possibly grab it when I'm up at my friends place fixing my own GSi.

I remember for my SB I ended up going down to Holden spare parts and picking up a new one for around $40. Wasn't expensive surprisingly

hey how much do you want for your old one?

I could probably do it for around $20. I'd have to get it for you next weekend though, as I didn't have the time to grab it today.
