hopefully I'm in the right section..every time I indicate to turn right the small green headlight icon on the dash flashes faintly as well. all bulbs working and no codes stored. also no issues turning left.

Can you check from outside the car if any other lights are coming on when the right indicator is on? I'm guessing there's an earthing issue somewhere

I have just checked if other lights coming on..nothing else showing all good.

I'd guess at a failing joint inside the instrument cluster

 

It was common on some older Octavias...

many thanks auto electrician here I come

 

Just visited my Indy garage and after a scan and visual inspection it seems the indicator bulb/light strip is partially blown..he said it's a pig of a job to fit a new indicator and cost is well over £100.. Has anyone done this job? Will start searching the web to see how it can be done
