Just look up the MOT regs, that has a limit on the slowest and fastest speeds that indicators can legally flash. I think its something like once a second and twice a second.

Or maybe its once a second and once every two seconds? I can't remember. Look it up.

Did you want me to count the time between flashes i.e. wait until the light has gone out until the light comes back on again, or the exact time between when the bulbs are their brightest i.e. mid flash? Let me know and I'll dig out my Omega Olympic Wink

Correct Thumbs Up legal limit is between 60-120 flashes per minute

says 60-120 a minute, im on 126 and im not about to take it to an mot to be told to gtfo and fix it then pay to retest.

was looking for a normal speed (out the factory so to speak) then get it to that.


Are they standard 21W bulbs or aftermarket LED or lower wattage bulbs??
If they are lower wattage bulbs ones get a higher one stuck in and that will slow it down. If it looks fast to you then it probably will to the tester.
But if that's the least of your MOT problems get it tested and see what they say, retests are free at most places and you can sort it quickly if you have to.
