   Hey guys, Have a few problems with the saxo.
   
   First problem,
   
   One of my front indicator bulbs don't work, but work when you put the hazard lights on.
   
   Also the same side were the bulb don't work, it flashes really fast at the rear
   
   
   2nd.
   
   Washer pump, you can gear it making a noise trying to pump water, but no water from the jets? Checked the water, and its topped up, just no water coming from the jets!.
   
   3rd.
   
   Rev counter don't work, it used to work, then just went to 0 once, and never moved again
   
   4th.
   
   Im sick of running out of petrol, because my guage don't work.
   
   For some reason its stuck at 0. Ive removed the pump from under the rear seat, had a little look and a fiddle, the float was moving freely so didn't see a problem with the float, reconnected it all up but still the gauge don't move.
   
   
   Advice would be great! thanks

   replace your dials, the whole unit, its easier thats what i did, get all the crap out of the pipes and unblock it, also unblock the jets with a pin, than put new water in and run it through you washers, if that dont work it could mean a new washer moter, the indicator could either be a fuse relay or a dodgy conection

   For the indicator it could be the indicator stalk thats faulty,the washers jets try putting a pin down the jets to clear the nozzle.Or an air line to clear them.

   If you can hear the pump working then the pump is okay mate.

   not always the pump can still run but if the seals inside have gone it just might not have the pressure to spray it
