Where the flasher unit is
TIS lists the flasher unit as K31, in the passenger compartment, under the instrument panel. An owner asked where exactly. The answer was that it is right next to the bonnet release, so in the driver's footwell.
Getting to it takes effort: you have to get your head and shoulders into the footwell and look up. One owner said it is the one on the right hand side of the pair in the second photo, a Lucas part. The K31 entry is also on the relays and fuses page.


LED indicator bulbs flash too fast
The owner asking was fitting LED lights, and the indicators blinked far too fast. A standard flasher unit relies on the load of ordinary filament bulbs, and LED bulbs draw far less, so it flashes quickly (or flashes erratically). He asked if K31 was the unit controlling the flash rate. The reply was that it "almost certainly" is.
- LED-specific flasher relays exist, and one owner linked to one. Check that the plug matches the VX220, because we don't have the pin layout.
- CF13 GL02 type relay: another owner said that you can fit this when using only LEDs, or a mix of bulbs and LEDs, because it handles 0.02 A to 20 A. He said it works fine, but makes one or two extra clicks when you switch the indicator off. The lights do not blink during these clicks.
- The owner who asked planned to try it and said he would look at the unit. The thread doesn't say how it turned out.
