when you get multi circuits doing things they shouldn't it's 'usually' down to a bad earth connection... somewhere.

Hi i'm not familiar with english registration alocations so i dunno if "L reg" is D1 or D2. If it's D2 i might be able to help if u are a bit handy with electrics. I suppose it's something in connection with the hazard switch circuit but u must make some measurements. I decline my competence if it's a D1.

could understand it being an earth fault if every thing was messing around but its only that one relay ,some one today has said it could be to do with the out put sockets for towing there are 2 one black one grey

The towing sockets have been known to cause problems the black one is the one to look at just take it apart and clean and put back together with a dap of vasaline/grease.
