2nd hand stalks have been known to often fail.

If you get one dirt cheap / with a cruise setup, feel free to use, no reason not too.

they do however often fail quickly, you find you are flashing people constantly....then the car flashes of its own accord.

the other route is pattern off ebay, cheap, reliable, but mech not as good as original's, indicator cancel often kicks in too soon or too late.

Therefore anyone elses could also suffer from that problem.

I'll take my chances chap!

Not if its brand new  - Like i say the new versions are much better quality with a 'soft touch feel' makes no sound through the stalk when indicating. I bought one for this reason alone.

bought mine from ebay @ £23 new, thinking it was GM. turned out to be pattern, at least was not stamped GM. Different feel to original, quiet in operation without the loud click click as wheel rotates but feels a bit too flexible when cruise buttons pressed and buttons a bit "sticky". Works though and actually cancels better than original which often cancelled too early.

Buy stalk from dealers, second hand false economy, brand spanker ones feel smooooth to use. well worth the £35

Not false economy at all - a new one won't work any better and someone off here could well be up a few quid - part of the reason this forum exists is to help other members, surely?
York Vx main stealer will never see me darken their door again anyway.

cruise stalks do get unreliable after a while (brings on full beam when braking etc...


buy new.

I understand your thoughts for second hand, been there myself... i bought second hand.

For one of the most used items in the car, its worth splashing a little cash, the soft touch on the later stalks really add something. I used to get annoyed with the loud click/clunk the old one did.

And 2nd hand ones are usually tired - start bringing on main beam under braking is the usual fault when they get a few years old.
