Another common problem, the indicator stalk can wear and the main beam may flicker on when you try to indicate. This is a fairly simple DIY fix and very inexpensive. The indicator stalks are a GM part and can be picked up from pretty much anywhere from scrapyards to dealers for a few quid (£10-£15). They are the same as those used on Vauxhall Astras amoungst other things. If you're a bit flush you can get alloy replacements from vendors such as Eliseparts.
To replace the stalk remove the screws holding on the steering wheel column shroud and gently remove it - be careful with the wires that go to the back of the mileometer reset button. With the shroud removed you can simply pull out the indicator stalk and remove the wiring loom from the back of it (its a block connector). Fit your new stalk onto the loom and refit, remember to test before re-fitting the shroud.
