Thanks antjam, hopefully i dont have to strip out as much as you have !!!

Nothing to remove. Once you know where to find it, it's an easy reach up under the lower passenger dash pad.

Phew! That looked a bit scary! Is it just hanging loose on those pink wires or mounted in a socket ? Thank you

It should be held in a metal spring clip - you just snap it out and disconnect the wiring. Some PO had been messing around on mine and the flasher unit was just suspended on the wiring.

Thanks for that, the hazards work fine so all the bulbs and wiring /earths seem good so hopefully just the flasher, hopefully here today. I had been out three days in a row since stopping the gearbox leak , so nice not to be limited distance wise and to keep checking and topping up gbox after every little run. . Then no indicators so grounded again

Just as an aside: the 4-way hazard flashers use a small indicator/flasher unit that is mounted on the fuse panel just above the pedals.

Thanks tim, I was wondering where the other flasher was, the hazards are all working fine btw.
Talking about the pedal area , you have probably had a good look at the pedal shaft , can I get some grease on my clutch pedal shaft from the footwell to see if that is the source of my noisy pedal, a grease nipple posibly up there ?

Hi Gary, There isn't a grease nipple as such but it shouldn't be too difficult to get some grease on to the clutch pedal 'axle' where it hinges on the bracket - particularly if you have a white lithium type spray grease with the drinking straw attachment on it where you can direct the jet quite accurately. There is a also a cut out in the pedal bracket which would help with that - see pic.

Oops “squirt”

Upsquirting is probably safer than upskirting.......

Something I found out the hard way this week: the direction signals will not work properly if the hazard flasher unit on the fuse box is not present. I had convinced myself sub consciously that if there are separate flasher relays then they must be independent - not true.....
