This morning I gave the turn signal and hazard "Flashers" a good wack with the back of my hand and they started working again.

I cannot source replacment flashers locally that fit in the rectangular receptacles built in under the dash to the left of the steering column.
I have large clear ones (about the size of a "c" cell battery) , that are marked "electronic". They look a little like 21st century vacuum tubes!

They are damn ugly dangling down between the bonnet release cable and the inner fender but until it rains they normally function satisfactorily.

I could probably bodge something up to hold them , but I am hoping "lord lucas" will materialize and give me a pair.

I suspect the microswitch just welded itself in place . Striking them while "hot" probably freed them from the on position.

As far as everything else goes:

Hazard switch new from delta less than 5 months
Column swithes 1 and 1/2 years old delta again

Thank you for your superb advice once again.
