Relays

Hi all.So last year I had the car MOT'd and ready to go to Supercar Festival. On the morning of the show I started it and the left indicator came on continuously, followed by the right one.If I use the indicator switch they come on as normal and the other one will turn off. Once you turn it off, they both start flashing again. Thought I'd check relays and got one of those relay testers but I didn't realise they were circular pins (not mechanically minded lol)I also want to locate the OVP relay because I'm hoping there is an issue there and that is what's causing the ASR/ABS lights to come on and car to get very clunky for a few mins. Should I just fork out and change all the relays?Can I test relays at home?Are there any of the flat pin relays in the car?Also am I missing some? Please see pics
