Butchered indicator switch with a pair of pliers. Tape over the top where the switch went. In pub now waiting to see if it passes. Fingers crossed.

That's the kind of sensible solution I like. If it passes pop back in for a second pint to celebrate (thumbs)

I checked mine and it states that only on the front one but both have the E3 marking on them that means it has been homolgated in Italy.

If it's OK in Italy then it's OK here ?

Does not make much sense though !
