You could probably go in to a scrap yard which have Saxo's and pretend to look around. Nab the relay and walk out. Job done. Everyone pockets small bits n bobs.

could also be the switch,

crap design means that on ones that have more use, there is a metal 'bullet' that wears, and all the gunk sticks in the middle of the tracks, and cause's the clicking, take the switch apart, clean out all the channels, put it back together

also could be crap like rust or water on the one of the light cluster holes etc

Not quite, and don't start running around looking for parts just yet.

I have seen that problem on almost every saxo/106 peugeot/citroen stalk I came across: It's more often than not triggered by moisture in the indicator stalk itself. Run a hair dryer over it (gently, not full hot) for a couple of minutes. It's actually easier on 106s because you can aim the blower on it then drive on it until the fault clears.

tip: I leave some silica bags in the car during winter and preferably park in the sunshine.
