VIVARO VAN indicators "moray" <mtbhypenrules(a)hotmaildotco.tuk> gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying: I'd have to check a wiring diagram, but I'm pretty sure the indicators are controlled by the body control module, so the clicking will be done by a small speaker. <holds head in hands> The world's gone mad. ... 31 Jul 2008 13:26
