Can anyone solve my problem?
My indicators suddenly dont work. I know the bulbs are working because hazards work.
I've also got no back demisters.
Any ideas?

Sounds like a bad fuse connection. Check all the fuses in the fuse box first. Because it's been so wet and damp recently a bit of damp may be affecting the fuse box.
Check all the indicators are working outside the car, visually, rather than from inside the car with the hazard switch on.

Yeah I did that. Bulbs work.
I also just checked the fuses and they're fine. Strange init.

Right ok. How many fuses have you got in your fusebox. Did you try the indicators etc with the ignition in the No2 position and does your interior light and DIM / DIP work.  |

It's the top fuse in the standard 4 fuse box that is at fault here (assuming that's the type of fuse box you have fitted) and sometimes the contacts need a clean or perhaps the fuse will only work after you've adjusted it's position slightly.
To be honest my top fuse was playing up on mine and that fuse kept blowing, so I've now fitted a brand new O/E fuse box, which was good as my original 17 year old one was rusted to hell at the back and causing some short circuiting too.
Anyway everything is working like new again, including my indicators and I coated the contacts on the rear with Vaseline to stop them rusting any time soon.

Oh and does your Brake Lights and Reverse Lights work too?
I imagine they don't, so get that fuse box sorted before you use your Mini again.

Sorted it now Taff. Was the fuses. Infact, the very first one had blown. 10 second job!. Cheers
