Normally means a bulb has blown, or it did on older cars!!!!

It's the Lighting Control Module (LCM) that controls the indicators. It's actually part of the light switch assembly - However who told you it was faulty? I've had a couple of cars where this has been diagnosed as the fault, and it turned out to be something much simpler and cheaper..

the indicator light has 2 bulbs - mine started flashing faster because one of the bulbs had blown.
It was a right PITA to fit for the first time.

all the bulbs are fine , it flashes fine when the hazzards are on , only when the r/h indicator is on
i have been told it may be the body cont unit , but have tried all but that , any ideas would
be welcome

thanks

Whereabouts are you?

Who told you it was the "body control unit" because on these cars that's not what controls the lights. Without a proper diagnosis, you are on an expensive route...

The LCM also stores vehicle mileage so if you replace it you get a tamper dot on the dash

Not if it's re-coded properly
