well there are a few things gone wrong with the old girl since i bought her, the most major happening yesterday (blew a main rear seal on the highway) but the other thing that shits me is the indicator pauses on and makes a whining noise when speaking into the UHF around a corner or whenever the indicator is on. i never been in a ute that has done it before but i have spent mos a my time in holdens

hunty by the sounds of it you are using the power line the powers your indicator. the easy way to fix the problem is to run a power line from your battery to your uhf or if you go to dick smith you can buy a noise filter and that should stop the whining noise that you get getting through your speaker.

We had the same problem with the indicator in our XF panelvan. When going around a corner, as the steering wheel got to a certain angle the indicator would squeel. From memory it has something to do with a steering sensor. We never got it fixed, just put up with it.
