Have a fiddle with the hazard light switch it's a common cause of indicator problems.

+ 1 to that, how new is new - brand new or second hand?
Check earths and check the flasher unit too, for both power and operation.
Re-seat or check for corrosion / loose wires on Hazard / flasher unit connectors

Click to expand...

The "power" should come from the LGN wire from the flasher unit to the stalk switch.

The stalk switch should then just distribute this "on - off - on - off" to either the LHS (GR to lights) or RHS (GW to lights) as appropriate.

Make sense?

Got a circuit diagram?

Look at this too - it may help = http://www.land-rover-blog.co.uk/how-to-fix-a-land-rover-defender-indicator-fault/

You should have an LGN from ther flasher to the stalk and an LGN from the hazard swtich to the stalk, which could be on a piggyback connector on either unit with a single LGN to the stalk.

Are your spades on the flasher unit fed through a plug or are they separate? If separate, you might have one on in the wrong place.

OK, If still fitted rip out the live to the LGN.
Try a live to the G on the flasher unit.
The flasher unit blinks all of the time, it is only when you indicate left or right that this power is earthed through the indicator lights.

If you do a live to the G on the flasher (missing out the HAZ switch) you can test basic operation of the stalk switch (providing all cables to the indicators are good & you have good earths)
