Hi all,
having problems with the indicators - they flash at a variable rate (consistent with the little light on the stalk), and sometimes the little stalk light doesn't flash at all. have replaced the fuse last week (35amp) as the old one blew, but still have problems. any ideas? cheers, Lou :D

Thats sounds a bit like one of the bulbs is on its way out, also with this weather check for water in the lights.

Yes, sounds like a possible dodgy bulb/connection/corrosion.

If the little stalk lamp does not flash, but the indicators do then check the 3 connections on the flasher unit can. The stalk lamp is feb by a separate connection (middle I think) than the rest of the indicators.

Actually if the stalk lamp is intermittant then check the connections to the flasher unit first.

Also, does this happen one one side only or both?? If it's one side only then check that side's bulbs, holders & connections. If it's both then check the flasher unit, stalk & associated connections.
