Indicator self-cancelling

(1/3) > >>

age:
Seem to get a silly or serious fault every month at the moment - hose leak and wheel bearing shot in December..... (X reg Defender Td5 CSW)

Anyway - latest gem the indicators when turning right self-cancel as you turn the wheel to the right.  Real pain when going round a roundabout etc as I have to keep shoving the stalk back up so that people can see where I'm headed. 

It cancels properly when returning the wheel to the left and no probs at all with left turns/indication.

It was starting to do this a while back before I had to replace the indicator/horn switch assembly in the column - so I know its not that (i.e. it was present with od and new switch).  The self cancelling must be triggered by some lever/mechanism on the steering wheel/hub?

Any ideas what can be causing it and any idiot proof remedy???

Cheers, Age

L90OOK:
When you are travelling in a straight line is your steering wheel straight or off-centre?
If it is off-centre this could be your problem  :-.

age:
All central in a straight line.  Just cancels as the wheel passes a certain point as I turn through the corner/roundabout.......

Remove the steering wheel, then turn the little plastic bit 180 degrees, and refit the steering wheel.

if that doesn't work, remove the wheel again and turn it back the other way, 360 degrees (180 back to its original pos, then a further 180 back again)

that should do the trick.
