Check the hazard switch. All cables channel through this. There are also two relays. Have you replaced both, or just one?

Both sides, or just left or right? Both sides would point to the flasher, or it's wiring. One side only would point to a faulty light unit (or bad earth or loose wire). Check all the bayonet fittings are firm - a colleague found the bayonet fitting on the the low tension lead of his Lotus Elan had come loose and was causing an intermittent power loss (just needed to be "tightened" with a pair of pliers).
