Hi,
I had something similar when I put in the wrong flasher unit. I just 
forget the exact details, but I think that the dashboard light just 
went on and stayed on, while the indicators blinked away normally, or 
perhaps the dash light flashed once and then went off. Whatever, you 
need the lucas blinker unit of the type sold by Moss, for the tr3. 
When the correct unit went in everything worked normally.

Speaking of blinkers, the Norwegians tell a joke about the Swedes. 
One Swede asks another to check if the blinker light's working. The 
other says: "yeah it is, wait on - no it's not, now it is, no - it 
stopped again --- and so on.

hope it helps,
Dave
