Re: Battery and/or Alternator???
Thanks for the replies :) I have taken out the battery, and found that there's some acidy-gunk stuff growing near the terminals, so think it's probably best to replace the battery. However, after a quick look on the 'net, I've found quotes of between £35 and £87 for a new battery for my Pug. Anybody...

Re: Indicator Stalk Fault
Hi.
Just to let you know that I installed the stalk I bought off eBay, and seems to have fixed the problem perfectly!
Thanks for your help with this.

Battery and/or Alternator???
Hiya guys, I wonder if anyone could help me out a little and possibly save me some pennies?! Here's my problem, and would appreciate any advice as to which component is likely to be at fault (if not both!)... 1> The orange 'engine diagnostics' light (next to the battery light) had been illuminated f...

Re: Indicator Stalk Fault
Not in this bleedin' weather!
What sort of price is reasonable for one of these from the scrappie? I've seen one at £44 on eBay (buy-it-now).

Re: Indicator Stalk Fault
Hi again... I unscrewed the 2 torx-screws on the lower shroud, and the 2 screws holding the stalk in place... slid her out, and have her sitting in front of me now! No problems at all.. so far! There looks to be nothing out of place externally, but I'm guessing the problem lies inside amongst the 'z...

Re: Indicator Stalk Fault
Cheers for the tips mate.
btw, you mentioned earlier about 2001> models having a 'comm200' fitting. If I haven't got that type, then what is mine likely to be known as? Just out of curiosity

Re: Indicator Stalk Fault
Thanks again guys for the replies.. greatly appreciated. What I'm going to do is take off the upper and lower shrouds of the steering column, and see what I can find (following the Haynes manual instructions!). This way, by taking out a few screws I should be able to figure if I need to take the who...

Re: Indicator Stalk Fault
If it is the 'common' fault of a snapped 'piece of plastic', is it a case of replacing just the stalk, or is it a matter of replacing a full assembly with the indicator stalk AND washer/wiper stalk?? From what I've read in my Haynes manual, the latter requires taking off the steering wheel (and airb...

Re: Indicator Stalk Fault
mmm... thanks for the link 
Sounds like my 'little piece f plastic' might've snapped then! I just found it strange that it only played-up in the first 10mins of a journey

Indicator Stalk Fault
Hi All, Been meaning to ask this for a while now, but with MOT time looming, I thought I'd best get it sorted... Basically my indicators decide to turn on whenever they like, whether I'm turning or not. It tends to be much more apparent within the first 5/10 minutes of driving. After this it seems t...
