Afternoon All

cars been running well this last few month, as soon as we came into this cold an wet snap at few electrical issues have shown up, 1st not all the time but the windscreen wipers do not work, drive for a few yards then all of a sudden they spring into life!? ive checked the motor linkages ect all seem fine, but the other day whilst driving along the indicator started up on there own?? then just stopped, they did that a few times over the next couple of days, i'm gathering everything electrical is body control module worked. any thoughts guys?

Thanks as always!

Firstly I would start by looking for water ingress in to the car by fuse box/control unit

any problems with central locking and electric windows? thinking of dodgy wiring through the door to body gaiters, this can play havoc with the electrics.

    yes thought that mayb the place to start! and as its raining heavenly today it may show, all eleci windows an locking working fine, drivers rear door window doesn't open but it never has work since ive owned the car, will check for the water ingress today and keep yous posted!

oh and on another note, few months back she started to go into limp home every time I pushed her on, variable vane issue, everyone knows the tail, so egr pipe off, filled turbo with oven cleaner, did the rest of the steps freed up the actuator arm, took her out for a good thrash and all was well, until 2 week ago (not as Bad as Before) but push her on really hard an there she gose back into limp home, so my question is, it looks an B@*%$red of a place to get the full turbo off, any one done the job before?
