Indicator problem

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

I have a quick question guys, My side drivers side repeater is not working, i am hoping its just a bulb issue.

Now i have never changed a bulb on any of my 5's in the past, how do the side repeaters get come of the car?

I know its a stupid question, but if you dont know the answer got to ask somewhere eh.

mine were kind of glued on, i just gently prised them off then re glued them....I think they are meant to clip in though ??

The side indicators just pull out , just be careful and slowly pull out , or take the inner wheelarch plastic off and access it from behind the front wing and then push out your choice :)

I just had a quick look, it looks asif it is glued on... this is will be fun tomorrow.. I want to MOT it by the weekend, New numberplates are on, new tyres fitted... lets see what the MOT test man says.

Are you talking about the grey 5 Penfold? As if it's the white 5 you just hold the orange section and gently pull towards you. If they're tight you can (as mentioned) take off the plastic inner arch (if still there) and squeeze the plastic springs from the back and push out as a whole :)

OE indicators should just slot in, aftermarket might be a bit tight. It also might be the fact the wings are pattern or even replacement OE as new wings don't come supplied with the square repeater hole hence some people who buy new wings not bothering to cut them in. Someone might have glued them in as the hole might be too big.

Its on the grey one, they look like they have been bonded on with some sort of glue - could be double sided tape.

wasn't it "symbol" or something daft like that?

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

I have changed my indicators, piss easy, also put on numberplate's on... just need to see how to remove the alloy wheels... with out the locking wheel nut thing... this will be fun.

[Chris Hebden]

Get the propper socket and ruin them! I think the socket has a left handed thread and dig into the locking nut when you try and undo them?
