Turn signal solid and not flashing. Which one of these do the team think i should choose?

i always choose the wrong thing when left to my own devices!

It could be a faulty flasher, but it could also be that there is not enough current being drawn through the flasher unit to open the bi-metalllic strip. This can happen if one or more of the indicator bulbs have blown, or if LED bulbs have been fitted. Might be worth checking before you order a new flasher unit.

Thanks John- the left one works intermittently. will check bulbs. at the rear its just all red!

There are two flasher units for the C4, the one that does the indicators is up under the passenger footwell.
The original ones work by heat. You are better off fitting an electronic one then you can fit LED's or a mixture in the future.
Something like this:
