Hello - please could someone advise... Driving up the motorway the other day was more nerve wracking than usual because on a few occasions when indicating to change lane I could not cancel the indicators - moving the stalk central didn't work, worse still quickly moving the stalk to the opposite indicator and back again in the hope that that would fix it just meant that the indicators continued to flash but in the other direction - potentially dangerous!
My guess is that this is fault lies in either the wiring or mechanics of the stalk (or both). The puzzle is that for most of the journey it worked fine, the problem just manifested itself on 3 or 4 occasions, but totally without warning and apparently spasmodic (the worst sort if you want to demo the problem to a technician!).
So has anyone else experienced this and if so what was the cure/outcome? I can already see many pound signs rotating in my eyes so any help advice would be most welcome.
