Ok, so this has happened twice now in the last month or so. Turn on ignition, and smoke comes from behind the steering wheel, from where all the indicator stalks go. tune off my ignition and it stops, turn on again and everythings ok. everything works ok. It deffinatly smells electrical. Happened to anyone else? should i get it checked out?

Thanks for that, It has'nt happened again since (touch wood) If it does it again then it'll be time to get it looked at. I will bear in mind all of these posibilitys. Thanks Neil
