I bypassed the wire from the stalk to the hazards, and then from the stalk to the relay, all to no avail.

Just another quick one, do I need to change any of the brake hardware under the bonnet also? I am asuming that because it is currently configured for rear drum, I will need to get the hardware from the Astra too!
