GT6 1 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I went through a handful of used Lucas barrel metal flasher units on my GT6, they were all different some worked some didn't some were slow some went super fast, then found one just right. If you can try another. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Get an electronic 3pin type, they just work! Only alteration is it will need an earth connection.Example:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Pi.....f:g:MLMAAOSw1DtXIeuG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlubikey Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Or ... if the flashers are both good, it's an indication of low battery volts. Check you battery and alternator. In my experience, a bit slow with the engine off is normal.Cheers, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philheys100 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 HiMy money is on the flasher unit, I have had several I would choose lucks type had this one in for about 12 months with no problems. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glang Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 If all the bulbs are correct (unlikely to be the problem as its the same in both directions) then I believe it could be down to a poor earth somewhere. The flash rate depends on the heating of an element in the flasher unit which is done by the current flowing to the bulbs. If theres less current flowing due to higher resistance in the circuit then the heating is slower and subsequently the flash rate also.

Guppy916 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I went electronic on my Mk3 GT6, never a problem, the changed all bulbs to LED's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martins Stag Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I used to find that if I had the tick over to low mine slowed down. Do they speed up if you rev it?Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philheys100 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Quoted from glang If all the bulbs are correct (unlikely to be the problem as its the same in both directions) then I believe it could be down to a poor earth somewhere. The flash rate depends on the heating of an element in the flasher unit which is done by the current flowing to the bulbs.

Yes I agree if memory serves me right bulbs should be 5 watt, but my bet its still the flasher unit I had a similar problem.
