After having my Cerby for amonth and nothing going wronge I was starting to get excited...... but then the law of the sod hit, on the way home today my bloody indicators stopped working on one of the worste roads in Britain, I must have looked like a Prize Pratt

Not checked her over yet to see waht it is, with any luck it's jsut the fuse.... couldn't see my break lights (on the same fuse) so I'm hoping this is an Easy fix or I'm stumped LOL

RANT OVER... than kyou for your tim LOL

do hazards still work?
Could be the flasher unit in the boot. Try the connections first.

Normal running procedure I'm afraid...

This may help...

Leave car off for 5 mins - start up car so that just sat there idling - pull both windcsreen wipers up so that they are off the windscreen. Press the steering wheel wiper button twice - the wipers may start to work on their own as there is no friction. Leave them doing this for a minute or so - turn off car and try again but with wipers on a wet windscreen - will probably work now. If wipers are off windcsreen but not moving, carefully move them back and forward in the direction that they should be moving this usually gets them going - follow instructions above. If can't get them going like this then replace the fuse, but this usually isn't necessary. If none of the above drive down to your local TVR bod in the dry and tell him your windcreen wipers are knackered - he'll probably laugh and go to a huge pile of spare motors that he has in the corner of the workshop !!!

Cheers Toady... all help and suggestions are much appreciated mate, I've not had the car long and I didn't really rad up on them before the purchase so learning as I go along is the name of the game this time round I think

I think I'll take the Steering wheel and the Alu panel behind it off to check all the cables.. Love the car, tis the most fun car i nthe world.... and it sounds awsome...

Now all I need is enough day light to take her to pieces LOL!

Hi

It will be the ribbon cable I have the same problem. If they do not work press the hazard light for a second and then us the indicator. The cable, I think it cost around £27.00 and is a pain to fit.

Cheers
