Can I remove the hazard?

bigdave10 · Sep 25, 2013

The hazards on my 1980 series III don`t work, (they are the push/pull switch type with a 2 pin flasher unit in the auxillary switch panel) .Do these switches cause a lot of trouble? (Tried disconnecting the wires from the switch but then normal indicators stop working). As pre 85 Landys don`t have to have them, can I remove them, if so, anyone know how?

Do the dash lights come on or is it just the actual external lights?

bigdave10 · Sep 26, 2013

D90Mitch......As it is at present, the switch bulb flashes and you can hear the flasher relay (round can type with 2 pins) but the external flashers don`t work and neither do the dash warning lights.

if your build date is before the requirement date then feel free to remove, I don't have them in mine nor do I have fogs

Am I right in thinking that if I follow the loom behind the instrument panel, it`ll be a "plug in"?

For some unknown reason other road users seem to take more notice of a "twirly flashy amber jobby" on the roof than they do the usual hazard flashers.

Thing is they are only allowed when "recovering" or on certain other vehicles at specified times.
Not as Essex CC thought as a cover all on their bin lorries done well and truly for causing an obstruction down country lanes, Wasn't me honest
