Haha, nah you are totally correct. It has been 10 months since I've had my disco and I had forgotten... it WAS when I indicated and it IS green. WOOPS.
Sorry if this is hijacking, but how did you fix the trailer light from flashing when you indicate?
It is meant to flash once without a trailer so you know it is working.

My trailer light also flashes when I indicate.
I put it down to the sensor that picks up that there is a trailor connected works via current draw. Since mine has a bull bar with extra lights, the current draw went up and sensor is tricked into thinking that a trailer is connected.
I hate having warning lights flash and tell me something is wrong, some people just ignore them but I can't. I have to fix them asap.
Take a look in owners manual, they are all listed.

SupporterNo need to fix anything. It is telling you that your extra lights on the bullbar are working.

it no longer serves as a bull bar bulb indicator!

The only orange light on my dash tells me it is time to put more fuel in.
Before I had the gas installed, it would come on far too regularly for my liking.
Just replaced my bullbar lights with LED's and now the trailer lights don't flash every time I indicate. I also replaced the rear lights on the back of the van with LED's and it still doesn't flash even with the van lights working.No need to fix anything. It is telling you that your extra lights on the bullbar are working.
There is a similar situation on the trucks I have driven in the past. On older trucks of certain types the LED lights do not draw enough current to tell the electronics to turn off the brake lights after the brakes are applied once. This even happens with a B-double sometimes. The amount of brake lights adds up to 4 or more so indicators will not draw much current either so I suspect this is why the trailer light indication in the dash would not come on with LEDs fitted to the trailer.
Just an old truckie with not much knowledge just driven old trucks and old LRs.
