Hi Mate..Could be a loose wire at the indicator end or a stalk switch..Do you have high beam on the same switch if so does that work?..Ziga

Take them out if they are the old type they probably have corroded away.

Are both front & rear out or just on one side. Either way check connections especially the bulb holders. Jiggle the bulb about on the contact, check for current using a tester etc and of course the earths.

My last earth problem saw my pods pop up when the brake pedal was pushed....classic TVR!!

I'm having exactly the same problem frown

The problem is most likely the indicator stalks earth (hours of studying the bibles electric diagram!) or its connection to the flasher unit. If your hazzards work then the lights are fine.

Depending on the year/model and possibly what the TVR electrition was feeling like when they built it, it could also be the connection to the flasher unit (i have half US wiring so only have one flasher unit, should have two but hey ho).

Grab length of wire and connect it to earth and then to the stalk, see if it flashes

Luckily to pass the MOT you just have to show they work so you can rig up a switch bypassing the original until you fix the original fault.
