Check your fuses VERY carefully and/or connectors for indicators on fuse box. I had this once and it turned out to be a fuse that looked fine but was in fact damaged (fell apart when I removed it).

hazzard switch also causes these symptoms, substitution is the only way of prooving tho.
if it is a early van, there is a flat three pinned inline connector near to the fuse box, two greens( one traced black) and another colour i cant remember , this can cause indecator issues, but dont think it will be that?????/

Thought it would be that. :D

I only mention it because I once spent an HOUR trying to figure out the fault on someone elses and it was only when I actually started taking the fuses out that the last but one fell to bits. Generally the black white green wire combinations are on the indicator circuit - identical in fact to the VW Beetle which is why using a haynes bug wiring diagram is so much easier to follow if you get stuck. And yes the hazards worked fine. All I got from the indicators was a dimmed, fixed green light.

Thats your MOT sorted then hopefully :D

Adjust your rear brakes up so they just catch, check for wheel bearing play and any split boots/gaiters. Long as there are no holes and you've checked the obvious you should be ok.
