    I have an intermittent fault with my flashers on this car.
    Sometimes, the flash speed appears to be about 3 times as fast as it should be.
    This will last a few seconds and then return to normal.
    I suspected a bulb - But both left and right-turn flashers are affected - So that rules that out.
    When the fault occurs, all three bulbs flash quickly ... front, rear and side.
    The dash board indicator also flashes quickly.
    I now suspect the module / relay.
    Does anyone know where to find it ?
    Any helpful suggestions would be welcome.
    Thanks.
    Johnsco.

    I found the answer to my question and cured the problem.
    It was caused by the earth-return pin on the connectors to both the rear light clusters.
    This pin gets overloaded and fails.
    I cured it by soldering a jumper wire onto the earth track of the light clusters and feeding it out of the light unit by-passing the damaged pin.
    I then connected it back into the correct wire on the other side of the connector.
    Simples !!! Worked fine and cured the problem.
    This appears to be a very common problem on 307s.
    Poor design.
