Now im going to check the earths & the connection blocks at the front on each light.
Im sure the indicator stalk is ok but what other checks can I do.?
N.b: When my alarm switches off/on only the noted indicator lights work.

Is there anyway I can just make my own? even if it temp?
Rather not pay a garage to fix them as its defo an mot fail.

What happens when the hazard lights are pressed? Does the indicator flasher speed up like you have a faulty bulb?

No, it just flashes the ones that work at a normal rate.
Checked all the fuses btw.
Can the problem coe from in the dash?

As I had troubles with my dash illumination/headlights and that was down to a dodgy connection on the clock!! French wiring is horrible.

If I cant fix it, or have the time to I might just have to pay an auto elec. :(

Have you removed the plugs and cleaned the connectors from the stalks?

Nope but I will do that!
Clean all the connections and earths up. check all the bulbs. & hope for the best.

Clean the plug that clips into the bulb holder on the front, check the earth on the rear. This is assuming you have checked the bulbs;)

No not yet, just asking what should I check.
tbh the bulb holder clip does pretty suspect.
cheers for the advice.
