    Hi, basically when I'm indicating left I click it down but I doesn't stay on, so I have to slightly push it up so it works, I don't have this problem when indicating right, Is this a knows thing on the saxos or is it just a problem with mine? lol. Could someone please tell me what it may be and how to go about fixing it as I'm not sure if it is a loose conection or something else.

    Cheers in advance Kris

    It sounds to me as though you might need a new stalk mechanism. Not sure if it's an easy fix but might be worth a look.

    Seems to be alot of Saxo Wiper / Indicator stalk issues lately.
    The problem your having the very first problem I had with my saxo
    You can indicate left, but a slight nudge up or down can turn it off.
    Head onto ebay and get a replacement stalk, £15 or less I bet
    It gets abit fiddly but You don't have to complete remove the steer wheel. Just remove alot of screws around the steering column and the steering wheel will drop. Just keep removing screws surrounding the stalk till you have enough space to slip the olde one out and replace. Just keep going untill you have enough space.
    If I can manage it, anyone can
    Good luck and welcome to Saxp

    You'll be fine, everything is on show. No hidden clips or anything that can do serious harm.
    The basics are remove the screws in the area of the stalk, if you find another piece is in the way ... remove the screws to remove that ect.

    Any trouble, post back here.
    someone will get back to you
