Have this message displayed on dash of my 55 plate 3.0D . When I lock the car with lights on the drivers side front indicator stays on!!!!! Strange!

Any ideas??

Check you've not got the indicator stalk in the 'off-centre' position. Might be the parking light. (not 'side-lights' via the main light switch)

As the message says "check park lights" have you tired checking the parking lights? I had the same message, with the same indicator symptom - it was the offside parking light bulb that needed changing (hence the message) - its something to do with the bulb tripping out that activates the indicator (I think to show you externally that there is an issue - or perhaps comes on to provide a parking light in the absence of the faulty one?

Correct, when sidelight is out the indicator stays on.

It is a sidelight bulb out cheers for the replies. It has angel eyes does the headlight have to come out to change bulb?

No. Bulb access is on back of the lamp unit. It's under the sloped rear port cover if I remember correctly.
