It's probably the indicator switch. What year is your car?

Ah you may have a "COM2000" unit in there then, sorry to say they're pretty expensive. Very likely to be the cause of the problem though :roll:

If you're lucky it'll be the old type switch, much cheper!!

Post up a photo of your indicator stalk :wink:

I'm not so sure on a 2001, I'd have thought it's the earlier non-multihexed one.

Do your stalks look like this:
