Valeo light / washer stalk

Hello!

 

Has anyone bought one of these cheap 'new' stalks from Ebay?

Are they any good?

 

Thanks

I have one of the new Valeo light stalk for about 4-5 months now  , not from ebay but from my parts supplier ... for now , no complains .

 

Looks like decent quality made , and "made in Tunisia" says on the box .

HI - that's good to hear

I'm coming to MOT time and every year the horn stops working on my way to the test centre.

I've got some spare stalks - one I took apart today and saw how it all works....it won't be going back together again!

It will be nice to have one that works all the time.

Washer one needs sorting too.....

True , i tried to disassemble and assemble few stalks in the past and gave up doing that too ! .. seems like one must have a brain like elephant to put it back together , let alone finding what's wrong inside and fix it .

 

I got to the point where i actually can assemble it back , but still left with no idea how to fix it (the usual and most common - low to high beam switching fault) .

Finally got around to replacing both with new OE ones from abroad.

Yes they work!
