Hitched up a trailer to my 1999 Td5 for the first time today; whilst all lights work as they should individually, but when I put the side lights on at the same time as the indicators the tail lights also flash. 
Is there an obvious cause for this? Not enough power or a poor earth perhaps?
TIA

Definitely a bad earth, white wire on the trailer electrics, pin 3 on a 7 pin plug set up and pin 3 on the 13 pin plug too!! I would surgest that if there are no broken wires then the pins might be compressed and they can be opened up carefully with a small screwdriver, but don't go mad as they are normally brass and wont take alot of abuse before  
If there are no broken wires then adding an additional earth to the socket will work wonders, just double up the wires and run it to either a good earth on the chassis or, belt and braces method, run the wire to the negative terminal on the battery  RRC 2.4 TD... it's either a stretched 90 or shrunken 110!!
