  3. if you have a spare avilable swap it and see. its a good thing to have a spare as most issues are either eartihg to the rears or the relay

  5. May be a faulty flasher relay, I had this problem to except mine wouldn't work at all, I could hear the relay making some sort of noise but not the usual clicking sound, went to Halfrauds, got a new one swapped it out, job done

    This is the state of play -- fitted new relay unit , still the same , took stalk apart , wiring looks good ???

    gonna try tracing the wiring from the stalk to the lights next , any idea of usual places etc ?.

    Sorted this , just in case anone else has a similar problem this is how

    - I asked a mechanic mate what could be wrong , he said take the hazard switch off its the only thing that connects all four indicators so it must be faulty ( i had checked the stalk ) , he was right there were two contacts touching on the hazard switch , sorted , thanks for your help , guys

    Well done solving that -we've got 'hazard' switch issues too. Did you get a new one?
