General dodgy left indicator
I'm having this exact problem. I took my car to the garage and they told me I needed a new indicator stalk at a cost of £200.
I'm going to replace it this month, I've had to resort to holding the indicator down while turning (or not indicating at all!).
There's a stalk set for sale in the Classified section...
My local garage but they'll have to order the part from Fiat, my garages labour to fit it would be £50 so £250 in total for something pretty minor but massively annoying.
I have to hold down my left indicator when turning as it won't click in to place, or sometimes it will click in but will click off at a slight turn of the steering wheel.
I was told not to buy second hand stalks because the alignment wouldn't be perfect, whatever that means.
Mine is exactly the same you really have to push down and hold for it to start going.
But even when it does start it will turn off if the wheel moves or if slightly kncked arrggh its so annoying!:yuck: So do you think mine has the same problem as yours with the stalk??

I get this as well occasionally but I've always put it down to the rubber gaiter acting as a wedge and preventing the mechanism clicking into place. A quick poke around or indicating right then left usually sorts it. Make sure yours isn't the same before shelling out £200 for a new one!
Certainly sounds like we're experiencing the same problem. :bang:

Correct, clock spring needs to be factory aligned and has a red tab in place when new.
I've one for sale new, advertised in the classifieds here, and on eBay.
