How are you going to get to the X Rally without a valid MOT pass?

The Xantia possibly! Regards, Matthew T.

Yep, too simple Matthew.

Indicator stalk on the Sunday, tested that week, on the road 1st May. I won't be rushed into getting a mot for her, May will do just fine

And whilst I'm collecting this stalk I may as well see what other parts I can get.

Why does that not surprise me?

I can recover and send you a contact with a short length of wire if you want to add the B2 to A2 link into your wiring

Yes that would be good. I'll pm you details.

Couple more photos


Yellow sticker on original stalk, cream sticker on replacement.

And this imprinted on the tank

Is that manufacturing production line graffiti you have found there Neil?! ha like a TVR or Lotus!

Scan of Wiring Changes for the record. John

When it's highlighted and colour coded like that it makes it so much easier to understand.

Thanks for posting that, John - but what a circuit diagram.....fancy putting all three switch layouts into the same diagram!!!

The originals of these diagrams came from the Mk1 main (LHD) section.
The index listed the second two as revised looms.
I looked in the RHD for the same information and drew a blank.
No equivalent diagrams present.
Come across this before and think if a loom is common to both LHD and RHD Citroen did not repeat the information.
It would have helped a lot if they had confirmed this in writing.

Hi Chris
I wanted to avoid adding three separate scanned drawings to the website that people would need to print or flip between to spot the differences.
So I marked them up and cut and pasted complete with leaking red felt tip finger prints.
I thought I might ask Russ to turn it into a decently readable drawing.

I had no idea that Citroen had changed the stalk just to make life difficult.
If it had not been for EddieN picking up on the contact pin changes I would not have started the wiring diagram search.
I just cannot believe that this problem has not appeared before yet no one seemed to know or have raised it before.
I did get a bit worried when MTXM suggested using component plastic colour to fault find electrical problems.
