Finally got around to swapping the LED indicators etc.. onto the 110 but ive run into a strange problem.

The drivers side LED indicator doesnt flash but the standard bulb does, the LED is fine as i tried it on the other side. Tried a second LED and that doesnt flash either but a second bulb does flash.

Swapped the flasher relay out as well for the LED one. Wipac LEDs if that makes any odds, any ideas?

LEDs are polarity sensitive. It sounds like your wires might be the opposite way round. Land Rover didn't necessarily fit them consistently because they were only intended for filament bulbs which of course don't mind. I had this problem on some of my lights when I put LEDs on. If you can carefully extract the wires and pins from the plastic multiplugs and swap them over, you'll probably solve the problem.
