my wife has a 1.7ltr puma,when she puts the indicators on there is a ticking sound in time with the lights.When they turn off there is a fast ticking sound !,is this the relay knackered or some thing else?

it does sound like a sticking relay.

Either relay or stalk.

Relays are pretty cheap to get hold of, to locate, just pop the the indicators on, and get ya head under the drivers side of the dash, be under there somewhere along with others.

Try a Puma forum, plenty of guys with couple spare or...

The Relay will be in the engine compartment fuse box and the diagram for what each one belongs to is under the lid,
im no expert i had to refer to the Haynes manual, their may not be a relay for the indicators though as newer models run
the indicator flash through somthing called the GEM what ever that is,
