Check the earth wires.

Also a new flasher can an electronic one does the trick.

remove the bulb holers & clean or replace as needed, they are only about 3
pound each in the uk, so may be worth fitting a new pair,

All of the below plus check out your relay switch lucas part, could be metal
or plastic depending on age, about the size of a 10p piece

Yep. Start at the indicator and work back towards the switches looking
for duff connections.

The fast flash is meant to happen if one bulb doesn't light.

Cheers,

Wire usually goes just behind the grill where the indicator plugs into
the under bonnet wiring loom. Cut the old connectors off, strip the old
wire back and see how corroded it is !! Then fit new connections and the
whole lot should be sorted.
