Noticed yesterday that my front drivers side indicator comes on constantly instead of the side light (angel eye) when I turn just the sidelights on, the rear lights are as they should be.
Has anybody else had this problem before? Any ideas what the problem could be?
Its a 54 plate 3.0d

Hi mate had this on mine,its just the bulb for the angel eye thats gone. You can just change the bulb if you tamper with it a little or its a BMW only part i'm told. I replaced just the bulb in mine for a fiver. Or could it be the time to upgrade to LED angel eye bulbs, £30 all over Ebay.

In that case ignore my PM! LEDs do have a life span, usually many thousands of hours though...

Turns out 1 of the leds has stopped working!! looks like there is a slight crack one of the lenses, Mood!
These leds had a blue/white light, to match my upgraded xenons, but were not as bright as the very lastest BMW DRL angel eyes. Can I buy even bighter leds to match the latest BMWs?
