My left hand side front indicator fell out today (I wondered what the rattle was)

Anyhow the bible says glue it in but what would you recommend.

hmmm thats strange, my nearside repeater has started to fall off. Anyone know if the plastic clips that hold them to the body are easy to find, or should I order a whole new unit?

It depends which indicator you mean.
If is the one on the front of the car, I think you are supposed to use a silicone sealant so that it sticks well, but can be removed without any bodywork damage if you need to.

If it is the side repeaters I would use some pads with adhesive on both sides so that you can easily remove it without doing any damage when you need to change a bulb. I bought some new clear lenses and they have a plastic clip and a black foam pad on the back which is sticky on both sides when you peel the backing off.
