With my limited electrical knowledge I'm struggling again. All 3 left hand indicators have stopped working, bulbs all ok. When I put the hazards on, they all flash?? just not when I indicate.

Sure its just a fuse or something but which one?

Similarly the wipers will only work at top speed? Why is it all so confusing?

Try testing the switch.

It will almost certainly be a bad earth. If the indicators on the other side work OK, you can rule out the flasher unit. It could also be a duff switch in the stalk but they are a bit of a nightmare to fix as when you take the switch unit apart, you usually get showered with various tiny springs which never go back together properly!

If they're working on hazards the earthing is ok,sounds more like the indicator stalk if the other side is ok.

If I've still got it, it'll be at my mate's workshop. I'll have a look but it won't be before the weekend I'm afraid. Unless it's in my garage... I'll check tonight

OK, it was in the garage. Looks to be in good order. Email me your address to james at minispecial.com and I'll send it to you. If it works ok, you can send me a tenner or something or send it back if it doesn't help.
