Indicators (both sides) stopped working as visiting family - hazards still working but need to repair before driving home. Any ideas where to start? Maybe related but previously when indicating occasionally wipers would give a wave - note this was only sporadic (and likewise putting lights on wipers might activate themselves but only at a very strained rate). Have got multi-meter in car but no idea cable colours from stalk to test... and haven't even found fuses!?!
Stewart - '87 300GD since June 2011 (previously garaged for 10 years - was 110 owner until stolen and now moved on...)

Re: Help - indicators on 300 GD faulty!

Ha - finally found fuses (drivers side behind panel) and lo, Number 12 blown (8 amp). Unfortunately my spare fuses are all modern style and not whatever they're called style. However, raiding father-in-laws garage found house 5 amp fuse that has been made to fit till replacement obtained... Doesn't solve temperamental wipers but hey, where's the fun if it all worked! Anybody know about air horns? Sounds very asthmatic and suspect seals in mini-compressor leaking. Whilst rambling on, still searching for seats in boot and roofrack if anybody knows of any - plus any manuals would be useful.
