    greetings

    recently, the wipers started operating when i turn the night lights on, the
    left indicator turns on the wipers and my headlights have dimmed. Oh. And
    the clock radio has slowed to a crawl.

    :)

    I am going to look at it more carefully in the next few days but was
    wondering if this is a common fault and if therefore i could be spared the
    potentially frustrating process of tracing the problem.

    My first thought is a dodgy switching assembly on the steering column

    BTW, it is a right hand drive

    Sounds very much like you have a bad ground, also check the fuse box for
    corrosion.
