you flasher unit's about to pop...get a new one

[Clubby1275GT]

where is the indicator flasher unit? is it behind the dash on the right hand side by the clocks??
do halfrauds stock them??

[Guess-Works.com]

depends on the loom, and if you have hazards... if you have hazards then it's behind the clocks... if you don't then it's beside the wiper motor.

and yes you can get them from halfords.

well i do have hazards, not that they work! but should be an mg metro loom, i think i remember seeing it being the dash when i changed it, will have a look later, GW your as helpful as ever

look under the bonnet 1st. if theres a sliver box on the passenger side clost ish to the wiper motor then thats your flasher.

its great when they go made tho, its like a mini rave party

when you have hazard lights fitted, the one next to the wipers is the Hazard flasher, the indicator flasher ( which is on a different circuit ) is behind the dash... they are not the same.

5 points to GW, bang on mate, mines behind the clocks!

My 850 has got both of them next to the windscrean wiper motor. Maybe the hazards were added later :'(

When i bought my mini i thought there was something up, the indicator had to hazards unit and the hazards had the indicator!

[Clubby1275GT]

all sorted now guys, £10's worth of flasher units later and both indicators and hazards now work nice n slow!!

[miniman86]

my ones have a delay before they come on, you turn them on then about 2 seconds later they start to flash.

[mattpink]

Guys, I always fit an electronic flasher to 'regulate' the flash rate and are far more reliable.

Explained how in this post:
