    My left flicker flashes faster than the right one on the dash. The left flickers do not work; what's up?

    One or both your flicker bulbs has blown.

    Pop off the covers gently with a small flat screw driver, remove the silly plastic reflector instert thingy without breaking it (its very flimsy), use a long nose pliers to twist out the halogen bulb (its quite tricky the first time - I destroyed the bulb completely trying to get it out, if you read your manual you wil get some instructions and photo's _ I only saw that last night).

    Take old bulb to Midas, if its not completely mangled, and get another, its a 10W halogen so its quite pricey (R40 or so).

    And reverse process. Took me the whole afternoon and lots of swearing to actually get it right because its very fiddly and I was trying to turn the bulbs the wrong way when trying to re-insert them - they need to be rotated counter clockwise to insert).

    Thanks AlanB I pulled both bulbs out, the rear which I did first came out in bits. The bulb I picked up at the agent here in CT was the wrong 12V/23W and I could not find 12V/10W anywhere, so I fitted two bulbs I bought at Builders Warehouse which did not specify the Watt rating and fitted those. Both turn signals work now but the left ones flash faster than the right, the reason, I assume, is that the wattage on the new bulbs is incorrect.
