Sorry to start new thread but original is a way up the list by now.
Fanie - I would be most interested to have an update on the update
please.
Since you posted I have had a very similar experience with a 94 300Tdi
Defender.It started by occasionally blowing indicator fuses but ended
up with the indicators not working at all though the fuse was not
blown.The hazard warning system works perfectly.
You would think that this eliminates the hazard warning switch and
points to the flasher relay or the stalk indicator switch.I have found
this not to be so.
You are right in saying the indicator circuitry goes via the hazard
circuitry.In fact the hazard warning system uses the same flasher
relay as the indicators.You can hear and feel it clicking when the
hazard lights are flashing.
I don't know where the flasher relay is located on a Disco but on a
Defender it's on the LHS of the fusebox/relay complex on the bulkhead
in the passenger compartment behind the gearstick.
Anyway I can tell you that the hazards working ok doesn't mean that
the hazard warning switch is not the source of the indicator problem.
In my case at least replacing the hazard warning switch solved the
indicator problem.
My thanks to York Landrover Services (YLS).They were most helpful in
sorting it out for me.
I am therefore curious to know how things worked out in Southern
Africa.
