When I go 2 signal, my indicator light comes on but it sticks, doesn't make the 'tick' sound and my indicator doesn't come on?

Also

Got my trackin sorted the other day, but still when I go over about 50mph or if I brake from speed my steering wheel shakes like fcuk?

Any ideas?

Your indicator bulb is blown on that side.

You need to get your wheels balanced and checked for defects.

First of all, I think the indicator problem will be a knackered relay, not a bulb. If it was a bulb it would flash double the speed and make the clicking noise. It sounds like the relay has given up the ghost cos its the relay which makes the clicking noise in the first place.
The problem with the judder sounds very much like your front discs are warped, not the steering or the wheel balance. If it was wheel balance, it wouldnt do it when you were braking, it would do it usually between 50-60 and then double that at about 100-120! :)

wobble could be brake disks warped or wheels on the front not balanced (rear ones make little difference)

indicator staying on solid is not normally a symptom of a blown bulb except on minis which work slightly difference, so id try a new relay first.
