Bizzare turn signal fault ghibli

Sounds about right it’s got be something to do with that system. I may need new ballast which are proving difficult to find

The ballast is just the driver for the dipped/main beam. It won’t have anything to do with any drl or indicators

Of course.

Check the simple stuff first as the others have given but it’s a known area to be aware of.

I’ve also been having issues with my music, having a mind of its own and keeps skipping and replaying and changing radio stations and songs. This has started around the same time actually come to think of it.
Could possibly link to the steering column with wiring from the buttons on the steering wheel?

Sounds feasible.

That sounds very much like the clock spring. I have just changed one on a Nissan because the airbag warning light was on and the audio volume controls were not workings.

So I noticed a couple of weeks ago I had some scratches and paint missing in the nose of the car possibly from a car park. I thought not too much of it as I couldn’t prove anything, after closer inspection there is a crack in the lense of the headlight that water must be getting in to. Looks like the damage someone has done to the car also cracked that and it is possibly what’s causing my issue due to the water ingress.

Can you replace these lenses?

Nope, sealed for life units.

You could try to split it, but it is more work and effort that it is worth.

Gutted, looks like some inconsiderate a55hole cost me a new headlight

Update: turns out the someone in question has reported the accident to their insurance. I will speak with them tomorrow to hopefully replace the headlight

Car will be collected Thursday, just a note. If you refuse their curtesy car they will pay you the hire fee daily for loss of usage (I have a second car for work). So £61 a day whilst all repairs and things are sorted. A nice result really, hopefully it will pay for a Celtic tune and x pipe (rubs hands together). Don’t tell my mrs

I agree, it’s was the equivalent of a 5 series or e class merc.

I'm surprised. That doesn't seem too bad. I recall when my GT was hit I had a 911 Turbo as a loaner, and then an A8

Yeah, I probably could’ve bartered for more but I’m honestly just happy I dont have to buy and fit a new headlight.

Headlight is on back order, minimum of 2 weeks from maserati... Hopefully not too much longer
