hi guys just bought a 55 plate 1.6 tdci sport ... got a couple of problems with the instrument panel ...

1, the indicator lights do not flash when the indicators are on no click either ..the lights outside work perfectly as do the hazards ... any ideas?

2, the handbrake warning light stays on all the time , nothing wrong with the handbrake or the brakes ...

a couple of times they have worked and the warning light has gone off and the indicator lights work , but not for long ...

intermittant short maybe ... dont know where to start so please any assistance would be greatly appreciated guys

cheers
