its becoming a pai for other road users. Just wonderin if it will be
the light stalk or a loose wire?

I'd check the stalk first really. Not something I've ever had a problem with, but generally I start at the switch and work me way backwards if I can't guess easily. :D

probably the stalk. there's a metal "lever" contact in there that will probably be bent a bit too much. Alternatively, you may have a short somewhere, but that's harder to find.....

Cheers how do I check this? Do I just remove the stalk and check the
connection?

now you're making me think. I've told people about that :D

Remove the shroud, and I *think* you can see the contacts. I can't quite remember if you need the wheel off to get to it easily though.
