Press in/out the hazard light switch a few million times, as these can cause this through lack of use, all the indicators left/right go through this switch, so it is best to exercise it every so often.
Older leyland cars used to be favs for this malady as well.

My indicators often stop working completely, to fix it I have to turn the hazards on and off again

Ahhh, the old hazard light switch,eh? I`ve lost count of how many of my sierras that do this. Also, check for dry/dirty connections in the fuse box. They often play up....

If you CAREFULLY take apart the switch(hazard) and pack its insides with silicone paste it will work perfect all the time, tiny little bit stiffer to push but works perfect.
