everything was going to smoothly, just about to to book the MOT and discovered the indicators don't work, after a bit of messing, checking eartsh etc, i managed to get the front right working, but nothing else, any ideas?

I just had this with mine, the earths from the indicators body on the screws just would not work. I had to add auxiliary earths in the end

Sorry didn't make it down that weekend but spoke to him on the phone. simply earthing it on the screw to the body shell of the indicator wasn't enough. we added an extra earth wire and connected it to the small male connector on the back of the bulb holder and added that to the screw / nut.
