Just fired the Capri up for the first time in a few months and when the lights are on, the left indicator is very faintly lit. The rear indicators are functioning fine but the hazards at the front alternate. I'm assuming it's an earthing issue somewhere but do theses symptoms come to someone's mind as a common easy fix?

Usually rear light earths, common fault, have you checked to see if there's a leak either from the bootseal, or the rear light gaskets?
It's backfeeding to the fronts probably

I've never owned a Capri that hasn't done this at some point. It's also common on other older cars that use the hopeless Lucas connections.
My fix is to separate the earths from each bulb and connect them separately to an M6 bolt welded nearby.
Fitting a NEW fusebox is always a good idea on a Capri to reduce random electrical faults.

Thanks fellas - I'll get the back lights off and give the contact areas a good clean 👍

A power probe is an invaluable tool for jobs like that. Find the earth and stab the probe in and give it a better earth, see if the problem disappears!
