OK but the flasher sometimes ticks at double speed when indicating left

now seems to have gone hard. I'd expected to walk around the car and
smugly point-out a dead bulb, but none of the bulbs are working.


None of the bulbs??

Assuming you mean they were all working, Id still suspect a failing bulb.
Sometimes a broken filament can go through an intermittent phase before
full failure. Sods law means that when you did your walk around, it was
behaving innocently. ;-)

errr, none of the bulbs were working means none of the bulbs were working.
Reminds me of a daft joke from childhood (possibly Dave Allen) about
people testing the lights on a car ... sides? "yes"; brakes? "yes";
indicators? "yes" err "no" err "yes" err ... not funny really :-(
