Lets not go there!!!

But I have a bit of a problem. I've noticed when I have my headlights on the indicator arm gets hot, short somewhere?? Also, and I dont know if this is related, my wipers are very slow, even on high speed they are only moving slowly...

I swear its getting to petrol and match time!!! :evil:

that sounds like a short, or something else you cant see is constantly operating regardless of whether you want it to.
i had a similar problem with my last car, and i changed every single fuse in it (because a lot of different circuits are run through the same fuses) to see which ones blew up, and that found my problem. i didnt know how to use a multimeter and didnt want an electrician...

my wipers were really slow and kept blowing fuses as well...

it was because there was a lot of gunk on the ground wire for the wiper motor, have a look at that...
