    Hi Aidan ill look at them both tomorrow i replaced the fuse for the indicators recently when it blew (could the fuse be the wrong rating?) - When i put on the hazards they flash too quick! :confused:

    I had a look at all the fuses and there fine, Is the flasher the thing in the glove box that makes the noise when indicating? and if it is do i just pull it straight up to check the pins?

    Hi after opening each of the six indicator lens and taking out the bulb cleaning, rubbing and re-fitting the bulbs, listening to the relay under the bonnet, i figured out that a wire from the relay was not attached to anything seen a screw and attached the wire and hey presto works perfect again ... long story short Aidan mm was right "sounds like a bad earth" chap is a legend - thx m8.:D
