First post so hope you peeps can help and apologies if posted in wrong place
Today I bought a 5-door 1.4 16v Clio (2001 i think) but there is an intermittent fault affecting the electric window and direction indicators. On starting the engine i can normally hear what i believe is a relay clicking for a short period (maybe 30 seconds) during this time both the electric windows and the direction indicators work on/off in time with the clicking. Once the clicking has stopped both functions work as expected most of the time. However during a short trip this evening after the clicking stopped neither function would operate. I stopped the car on the road, restarted the engine, but this time no clicking and both functions worked immediately. I think i paid a good price but not if these electric functions aren't going to work, if i had to wait 30 seconds each time then maybe i`d stomach it but not at all isn't an option !! So an intermittent electric fault of sorts ?
Can anyone suggest what this may be, and more importantly how to fix it ?
Any help much appreciated.
