Hi guys can you help my indicators have decided to work only when they want to, sometimes they wont work at all or they will just flash once or twice then stop or sometimes they will work perfectly. They usually foot work when its cold or wet any ideas on how to fix this as its really annoyin of lol thanks guys
 
I had exactly this problem and thinking it was the famous burned contacts problem inside the stalk unit, stripped it down and found absolutely nothing wrong. In fact the unit was much, much better than the unit I got from the scrappy.... However, I removed and reseated the relay and made extra sure the plug-in connectors were fully home and it's been fine ever since....
Have a look at the connectors and the relay before doing anything more drastic, else if you need to remove the unit there's a good description in the Haynes manual. You'll need a 24mm A/F socket for the steering wheel nut.
 
You can get a view of the connectors if you remove the steering column shroud, which is held with a couple of Philips screws from below. You'll see that the stalk unit is a large black plastic moulding with the connectors plugged into it.
There's a good procedure guide on this site: http://www.fiatboo.co.uk/fix-a-bravo.htm
 
Relay is on the bottom half of the stalk unit, plug in type - usually an orange or blue 'cube'.
