Ryan Air!!!?? - they would charge extra for the gaffer tape & WD40.
It would take more than WD40 to loosen their pockets.

Made it to Corfu ok, a few bottom scrapes on the ferries and really heavy rain all the way through France last week.
The only problems were electrical, the light switch started buzzing and got hot on the headlight position, I only expected to need my headlights in the tunnels but the weather was so bad through France I needed them on to be seen. More of a problem is that the indicator switch has stopped working on the right turn position. Has anyone had one of these apart? I have visions of 23 year old hardened plastic, springs and contacts flying everywhere.
Does anyone know what parts bin was raided for the steering column stalks and switches back in 1990?

Are you sure it's the switch? Do the hazards all work? Don't forget (if I recall correctly) the indicators are powered via the hazard switch.
I think they were ex. Land rover. You can get them and the old ford transit types for earlier cars from John Worrall at HoE.
There is no spring as such just a copper contact for the connection. Should be say to remove (two screws) and a connector block for the wiring loom.
Perhaps just some contact cleaner or a bit of bending of the contact is all that's needed.
