Possibly, but you clearly have an earth fault ;)

I tug checked the earth connection all look good and solid - will meter out in the am - if Storm Freya doesnt hit us. Can you explain why you think it is an earth fault ? I would have thought that would make it not intermittant - although now it does look solid and its both indicators and rear only.
The only common link between all the rear lights is the earth circuit. The fact that all the other tail lights are flashing with the indicators points to a common fault... qed ;)
SLOVED !!
Hi based on your comments I checked out the cables fixings - all OK ... checked the flasher unit - duff 4.7uF capacitor so - no/flakey connection to... EARTH !! - cheers for the advice!! :) Was going to canabalise something to get one - no Maplins now :( Amazon £1.95 thanks again !!

You're welcome. The ground connection may well have been a red herring, but it clearly got you taking a more thorough approach to the problem  :y
