It might just be Northern know-how over Southern pedantry.

He he, its because we dont try to screw each other all the time up here

Electrics can be a sod to fix though... If memory serves the headlights and indicators are on the same fused circuit? Possibly same earth too, though that's a guess. So a fault that effects both, you look for eithe rcoincidence or common factors.

So, let's reserve judgement on JHS til we know what the problem actually was, eh? Well, personally I came to my own judgement on JHS a long time ago, but on this particular thing at least keep an open mind

When I take my own bike to the MOT centre the guy is willing to try sort little things out right there and then. He adjusted my headlights and he found a loose wire to the horn on the 'blade in front of me in the queue.
Not all southern mechanics are crap...my MOT tester rectified a few small things before he issued the pass. Obviously didn't charge either.

You should change to the synthetic blinker fluid...although it can be hard to find.

Well just got of the phone to JHS, and they seem to think its a problem with the Alarm (meta V2 ) as its wired into the indicators.

It did stop working a few months back for no reason at all. They seem confident that it is fixable though, event if they need to remove the alarm completly.
