My problem is my mates R100 PD '91 Model has a fault with the left indicator. It works fine with the ignition off but as soon as the engine is started it switches off, if while the engine is running he holds the switch on it works. Faulty relay? switch? perhaps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

From the diagram, it seems to be pretty simple. You've got your grounds, left and right hand signal switches, and the flasher unit. Since it seems to be isolated to the left side, I'd first check grounds for the left side, then the left switch. After that, I'd consider replacing the flasher unit.

The switches can get grubby in there, and a good squirt with an electrical cleaner might help. WD40 is not the squirt of choice, as it can leave before corrosive spots.
You might get lucky with a clean up.

Surely, the indicators shouldn't work at all with the ignition off...

OK... guess it really has to be the switch.
