Bought it. I bought a '91 Subaru Brumby (Australia) the other weekend, just needs a little tlc. The left hazard light wasn't working, but I was able to fix it by taking apart the steering column and giving it a thorough clean with electronics cleaner. Got a replacement rear tailight from a local parts wrecker as my right one had a crack and would not pass a registration check, so I installed that. Ordered some gear shifter bushings to hopefully fix the slop in it. Going to get some material and make a replacement boot for the gear shifter as well as the original has rips in it. Had a slight coolant 'leak' where coolant would drip out of the overflow tube constantly when driving it. I bought a replacement radiator cap and it seems to have fixed that. Need to fix the interior dome light as well, and do a tune up. It's my first 'project' car and I'm taking the time to learn how to do the maintenance myself. Really enjoying it so far.

I had the same problem with my Brumby. Managed to find an auto wrecker near by with a taillight assembly and had them ship it to me. It cost me about $105 though, but it was the whole assembly. Either that or a brand new lens for $85. Figured I might as well spring the extra and then I'd also have a spare assembly if needed.

Just an update on this, I was able to fix it. I took the steering wheel off and cleaned all of the hairy and dusty gunk that was all over the combination hazard/indicator switch using electronic contact cleaner. After putting it back together the hazards now work! Hope this helps anyone with the same problem. Cheers.

Hi there, I bought a 1991 Brumby the weekend before last and it's been great so far. I've discovered an issue today, where only the right hand side Hazard flasher works. When I hit the hazard button only the right indicator arrow in the car turns on and checking the exterior only the right blinkers come on. Both my right and left indicators work normally. I'm pretty new to all of this, one of the main reasons I got the Brumby is to learn how to fix things. Does anyone have any tips or starting points I should consider? Cheers.
