Uh huh... And I said the indicators don't work wth intermittent wiper settting but do with wipers on low or high, so I asked if that makes it more likely to be idm, bcu or wiring???

I'm just trying to clarify what you are saying mate If the wipers don't work on intermittent but work on low and fast wiper speed, then you think it is a wiring issue as opposed to a problem at idm or bcu? Sorry I'm not being obtuse just want to make sure I'm clear

Ok thank you will check that Car is at garage just now but from memory when wipers were set to intermittent, indicators didn't work but when they were set to low or fast I THINK the indicators worked on low or fast, but will double check What does that mean then maybe ?

So the place to look then is wherever else the remote locking wires are? Interestingly, the garage took the interior fuse box lids off and there was evidence of historic water damage on the board Could that be it and I'm just unlucky that 2 fuseboxes are damaged?

There must be some link though between the 2? For the wipers to supply power or functionality to the indicators! I honestly believe the locking is a red herring The only "bodge" is the fact he cut the 3 existing central locking wires

The guys been trying loads of things for hours and is still no further forward, but hes not charging me as he is determined to get it! Can any boffins on here explain why the indicators and rear windows work only when the wipers are on? There MUST be a link there somewhere?

Haha might be paying you a visit then kind sir!

Haha ok sorry I go from being deliriously happy driving it to terrified it's something catastrophic and fearing telling the wife that the "cheap car I bought " could, if that land rover "specialist" was right have cost double to fix than what I paid! I've got an appt at 11 with another place...

Not quite sure why it would be fun for you seeing things pop up going wrong to be honest If you were a true land rover enthusiast I would think you would be happy that there are people with more money than sense buying the ones that have been neglected and wanting to fix them But each to...

Haha yeah , I am sure some of them are extracting the urine but by and large really helpful people on here, thank God!

Yeah but am I not right in assuming that if the indicators work when the wipers are on, then it must be a daft wiring issue as I first thought a lot more likely than needing a whole new bcu?

Hmm plot thickens! When I have the window wipers on, the indicators and hazards work, as do the rear windows!!! Haha what the hell does that signify. .

You've completely lost me, kevstar obviously checked the mot history online?

Who was it that said about selling just before the MOT...

Grr. Frustrating news, 120 for the test, 40 quid for 30 mins looking at it for him to tell me Indicators - problem he thinks is caused by the person who did the after market central locking as he thinks it has messed up the bcu . Is that even possible!? New bcu apparently which will be 3...

Oh I can imagine You know how thats solved don't you? Move to Glasgow and ill have you on retainer! I know how you feel though , when I had the capri and was on that forum it was the same thing The way to look at this is, yes, my car has obviously had some bodges done but its now in the...

True, but they will know how to rectify it Let's stay positive sierra!

Haha no exactly and that shows that I am listening at least to what you guys are all telling me as I knew that from the advice you have kindly given me To be fair he was just a standard wee garage guy and recommended I go to the landrover place instead He also didn't charge me for the...

Well went down to a local place who plugged it in and tried the indicators from his laptop and still didn't work He then turned the lights on but the laptop was saying that they were still off which made him think it's the bcu Freely admitted I would be better taking it to a landrover place...
