anyone else with a blinker that has developed its own rythym? the ticktack sound you hear when you put the blinkers on when turning left or right.
It is supposed to be in a constant rythym like a piano metronome, always exactly on thesame time, but mine isnt.

It is the first car i have with this slightly irritating effect. Yes the lights work fine but it does not feel premium?

Yep noticed the irregular tick tick also with the indicators not sure if they are blinking out of rhythm though or whether they flash at a constant pace

It prevents hypnotic constant rythm

A forum member reported a while ago that his dealer told him it was to stop you forgetting that the indicators were on. Mine do the same...and I haven't forgotten to cancel the indicators, so it must be true.
Cheers,
