    I always find it amusing when people tell me that they would beat me on a twisty road

    Ah really? hope yours can be fixed easily! Mine is all sorted now thanks to Yoda :)! My indicators/hazards weren't working because : hazard switch bridged at back with paper clip! , indicators wired onto hazard relay circuit as indicator relay had been taken out and instead the wires had been taped together!!.. So thankfully Yoda fixed it before I had my mini go up in flames!!

    Thanks :) Yh it was quite shocking to find. Ah that sounds bad. Good luck with it. Why do people try and fix things when they don't know how :( it just causes problems!

My friend's mini indicators/ hazards stopped working so I went over to help. Later, halfway to a show, mine stopped working! :( I think my mini caught something from her mini lol
