Just wondering if the cause of the R8 rapid flashing of the indicators has been explained yet. I remember this being a not uncommon syndrome with people on here.
Strangely mine never did it until the recent very cold spell which sent them into the said frenzy. Since things have warmed up a bit over the last three weeks or so, all has been back to normal.
Rather strange, any thoughts anyone. confused

Faulty control unit I believe. Mine was replaced after just a few months from new. No problems since. If it's under warrantee get it replaced.

Maybe if the control unit is faulty it also becomes temperature sensitive. I've been flashing at the prescribed rate for the last couple of weeks but if it should return I suppose I'll have to visit the dealer.

I should phone them and have them reserve the parts,for you.
That is what I did,then turned up and waited for them to do it.
Good service.
