In my experiennce most problems with lights on cars is usually due to poor
earth connections.
The designers of car electrics, depend on the body to act as an earth
return, years of rust, and vibration mean that after a while this may no
longer be the case.
Mini indicators being made of die-cast metal, suffer in the same manner.
If you remove the indicators and make sure they have a good connection with
the body, and add an additional earth connection from the indicator to a
good earth point (all the way back to the earth side of the battery if that
is what it takes).
Obviously, a poor earth causes the lights not to work, but intermittant
earths cause the voltage to fluctuate, that in turn will blow bulbs and
fuses.
Hope this helps
