Indicator fault one side only

Post by MrDodo »

When I indicator right everything works OK. If I indicate left, the stalk gives a single flash and my front left indicator flashes at about twice the normal speed, the rear left indictor doesn't flash at all. Would this be caused by a blown bulb in the rear left indicator?
If I need to check wiring can I presume that the flasher can is OK as everything is fine when I indicate right?
Thanks in advance, James

There are other shops beside Hellfrauds....... in any case - you should carry a spare set of bulbs in the car......

I would have gone elsewhere had I not needed it more urgently. Fortunately with my Trade Discount card it was only 49p! :D

The Poundshops often have 'kits' of spare bulbs - not all will be useful on a Minor - but at £1 worth having a couple of them in the glovebox......
