What a blow - steering wheel knob system broken

TOBRUK

Well I had a Brian Page steering wheel knob system fitted to my car in 1997 and it has worked wonderfully - until recently! Having problems getting the indicators to work which is dangerous and sometimes the horn would work when using the indicator switch!

I tried contacting Brian Page systems by email a few times last week to ask for advice and this morning received an email:

[FONT=&quot]We retired last September after 30 years of business. Your best idea would be to talk to who ever fitted your infra-red to ask if they can help. We have not manufactured this device since 2003 when a major fire destroyed our premises, so it may be difficult to get in repaired. New versions are available but we do not have any details.[/FONT]

Shortly followed by another email

[FONT=&quot]Further to my previous reply, Mr Page passed away this morning.

S M Page (Mrs)[/FONT]

I couldn't believe it, and I felt terrible that this man had passed away this morning!

Anyway I contacted the people who fitted the system - they have new systems now, another company, and are very different. They were very helpful and said they knew a few ex brian page employers who could recondition my system but did not know how much this would cost.

If I wanted a new system, the cost is £990.

I think I am going to have mine repaired and hope it doesn't cost hundreds! The only thing is that it will be sent away and will take about a week. I shall now have to arrange for someone to take me to the services with my broken system as I can't drive without it!

I just thought this information would be useful to others who have a Brian Page system on their vehicles.
