Lights/Wipers stalk controls

[AndrewKB]

I'm looking for a new lights/wipers stalk assembly (the standard Marina one which just drops over the steering column) complete-and-working so that I can just plug-in to the existing wiring and connectors. Everything works on my existing one except the washer push and I'm fed up with having to use the separate switch that I wired-in a couple of years ago.

I've done the normal Google search but can't find anyone with this sort of thing available. Any ideas?

Andrew,
Have you tried fixing the one you have. Mine stopped working the day before the MOT so was forced to have a go. Really easy to just pop the plastic end cap off and clean / bend / repair the inside terminals.
If your car was built on a mk11 marina then you can use the one's found on mini's, TR7 later spitfire etc. You will need to check part numbers etc. Some have longer stalks than others and different loom plugs. If, like me you have a mk1 marina build then you will have to search those scrappies. Try the scrappie in Dursley Glos. I was told that they had a marina in the other day. Twigworths are also worth a try.

Hope this helps.

Keep an eye on Ebay that's where I found mine. Check the multi-way plug for corrosion. The wiper stalk is subject less variation than the indicator stalk and is usually easier to source. Which side is yours on? left or right? If the plug is wrong on the one you buy you can prise the pins out of the old one and reuse it.

Jon - I'll certainly try Twigworth. Very easy for me.
Don - I'll keep an eye on ebay.
Lee - I won't be at Stoneleigh but if you could send your e-mail address to andrew.k-brown(at)virgin.net I'd be most grateful and we might able to work something out.

Everyone else - please keep the ideas coming in!

Thanks to all

Andrew

PS - I have tried repairs, without success!

Re: Lights/Wipers stalk controls

Classic Mini items should fit straight into the Marina loom connectors....I used these way back when and I can't recall having to do any mods to the wiring.
