It doesn't guide anything. I think it protects the coil wires from the sharp edge of the frame seam.

Next issue is the indicators seem to be to fast and both idiot lights flash whether left or right is on. Any ideas ?

Check yer earths Gary..........all nice and clean and together as should be? You'll know this but they'll flash like crazy if there's a bulb/connection incomplete somewhere, are they all working? How bad is the flasher unit, is it in reasonable nick?
Might be the switch but check those bits first is where I'd start.

Flasher looks and sounds good, Im off to recheck earths, switch should be good every thing worked when I bought it. Could it be DS indicators?

doubt it, do they all test ok and light up? there's hardly anything to go wrong its only a glorified bulb holder really?
The fact that youre getting flashing idiot lights, I would think, smells of an earth issue, bit like the old fiesta's and peugeot's that when the connectors on the boot lid got dirty it would make all sorts flasj on the tail gate flash when you put the indicators on at the back. Plus its the easiest cash free diagnosis which is always the forst point of call for me.
Cillet Bang (however you spell it) kitchen cleaner is ace for cleaning the bullet connectors if they're grubby, bob a bit in a jar and warm slightly and use that, they come up like new. (that's not my idea, one of Julie's I think) works a treat. As does wire wool obvs ;D ;)
