put your hazard lights on
go outside and see which one has blown as thats the most likely solution
if not then it'l mibby be a fuse

so check your indicator bulbs first with harzard light techniqe i mentioned

Sounds like a dodgy earth connection.

I had this same problem with my Corsa C Sxi. The thing is I changed the battery for a 60amp halfords calcium (standad is 35 amp), all the bulbs worked, but the left side flashed at twice the speed of the right. Took it back to Vauxhall and they said that there was a power surge occurring.
Took the battery back to halfords and bought a 55amp from vauxhall, all works fine now.

Corsabeat, the battery had absolutely sweet FA to do with this indicator problem. Who the hell told you that there was a power surge? Go back and slap them! It's either a loose connection or one of your indicator bulbs has blown.

Yeah fair enough suppose it could be because the circuit flashes fast cause of the current being drawn is, either too little or to much, (i cant rember which think iits too little ie 2 flashing bulbs draw less current than 3!)) so when a bulb is out it'll flash fast to let u know, so it is more likely to just be the bulbs, i'd def check them 1st before checking all your earth and wiring etc!

this happened to mine on Saturday, i just stopped the car, opened boot, pulled out bulbs holder and played with wires a bit, and it went away, its usually a dodgy connection, earth. just leave indicator on and play about with connectors to see what is fcuked.

It could be your Hazard light switch. That was what the problem was with mine!
