Fuses, if you haven't already. Do the Hazard lights work?

I am mechanically ignorant :(

On the inside of the fuse pannel or in your owners manual perhaps both there will be a list of what does what, I'd check the indicator fuse. Might also be worth looking at you tail light and indicator lenses making sure they are not full of water.

My one did the same thing, I just pulled out the relay, tapped it on the windscreen frame, re-installed, problem solved :) The relay is on the inboard side from memory.

Cheers,

Folks as it turned out it was the indicator in the ARB bull bar installed by ARB that was causing it to short out, it was twisted around (globe inside and one little bit of metal cutting into a wire causing a spike) Problem solved. ARB's fault not LR on this occasion !!
