   Recently replaced the indicator relay fuse as the old one was randomly ticking quite often, fitted the new one (second hand part) and was fine for 2 weeks but now its started to do the same thing as before.
   
   So do I replace the relay again or could it be the stalk - seems very bad luck that it has worn out a 2nd relay fuse in a week, is it possible that something could be shorting the relay fuse and will just keep doing so until I get to the root of the problem?
   
   Any idea?

   Could be the stalk. Try very gently wiggling it to see if you can stop/start the rapid clicking. If so, the stalk needs changing.

   Sorry for the noob question... but if it's not the relay itself what is it? and any tips on good places to buy indicator stalks? cheers
