So. When I indicate, I get a little cluster of indicator-ness before it settles down to its normal amount. When I say this I mean the indicator clicking noise

This however doesn't happen in the cold - and it sometimes has taken up to around 2 seconds before doing anything when its really cold...

Anyone have light to shed on this? If it has already been answered then I am blissfully unaware

Do you mean your turn signal indicators? And are you referring to it clicking quickly, then settling back to a normal amount? A fast indicator click in my Seicento is telling me that there is a bulb out, which is actually just an intermittent connection and usually comes back and settles back to its normal rate eventually. Get someone to check your lights when it does it and I'll bet you one of your bulbs won't be flashing.
 
Have the same on mine. I reckon from the initial indicator stick movement there are 5 'clicks' in the same time for one 'click'. This lasts for about half a second then is back to normal. I thought (Worryingly) that it was doing it because it needed to get back into a rhythm from when they stopped last haha. Obviously not but that's the kind of sensation you get.
 
Maybe its a punto thing.. All my lights work, I check my lights frequently just to ensure they all work efficiently and legally. It doesn't bother me. Just wanted to see if its a common thing.. Wouldn't say its a problem as such
 
I get this for half a second if it don't push the stalk with enough vigour. Its down to the switch making an intermittent connection under light load. All switches do it to some extent and where it causes a problem 'de-bounce' filters are often used to eliminate it.

The indicator circuit of the Grande obviously isn't digital/multiplex otherwise the software would prevent it.
