The indicator light in my dash starts flashing continually at a faster than normal speed when I turn the key on and still goes when the engine is running. All the turn lights and emergency flasher work as they should. If I use the turn indicator the light indicates as it should but at normal speed.
I don'thave an owners manual so does anyone know if this is a warning of some sort?

Have you checked your bulbs both front and rear?

While you're in there and unless you've done it recently, make sure all of your bulb contacts and connectors are corrosion-free.
Good luck

Thanks. Yes all the lights front and rear work fine. So I presume the repeated flashing doesn't mean anything apart from maybe a faulty contact or relay?

It's not the brake indicator light, is it? Those have a tendency to flash if the master cylinder switch hasn't been reset, or when there is a fault in the parking brake circuit.

No, From memory that's a red light in the left hand cluster. This is the direction indictor light in the centre dial/rev counter. I was hoping someone might have a manual where it might tell us if there is a problem when this flashes like this. I get the impression it's not sinister-just annoying
