I'd check the battery connections are good and tight and the connectors are still securely attached to the cable. Also check the earth...
Faults are usually with the bit you fiddled with last.
Could it be that they were slow/dull because the battery was on its way out and charging it has totally done for it?Faults are usually with the bit you fiddled with last.

Derek is f
king with my head
I thought I would start at the beginning tonight, so I stuck the battery back in and connected it. Turned the ignition on ........ horn working. Brake lights....all good. Indicators......yes, no, yes,no.
I will systematically go round checking all connections, earth and change the fuse. The only thing that is not original on these is the earth. This has snapped at some point and had been rescrewed into the frame. All the connections I have touched so far are all tight and in their plastic sleeves.

Just to check it's not a bad earth connection try running a wire from the frame/indicator earth connection to the battery negative terminal. If it all comes good then the new earth point isn't working well. king with my headI thought I would start at the beginning tonight, so I stuck the battery back in and connected it.

I'm not sure how to break this news to you, but indicators are supposed to flash so when they're on, off, on, off then that's a good thing and they're working correctly king with my headI thought I would start at the beginning tonight, so I stuck the battery back in and connected it.

Glad I wasn't the only one 
It's just a connection issue, high resistance somewhere, Unplug the connector and run a fresh lead right from the relay to the bulb and if that works you know there's something wrong with the bits inbetween.
If that's not it run a fresh lead from battery to relay, does that fix it?
Clean all the connections with a wire brush, clean em reeeall good, make sure all the fittings are tight, squish em flat with pliers, wedge some fine solder in to pad out loose female pins, or f**k the connectors off for new ones, or crimp the two wires together or whatever.

They only have an igniter...which I doubt would have an effect on the indicators

Another option to polish your screen. I used this on my AT screen and it did exactly what it said on the label
That may have just made my day - many thanks!Their site lists a host of great products, the paint scratch remover being the other 'need'! Have you used that by chance?
