FRONT INDICATOR BULB !!!!!!!!!!!!

[marcus1970]

Hello all,

Front indicator has stpped working!

How on earth do you get to the bulb to change it?

Have removed wheel and both wheel arch panels and am confronted with a load of pipes and tubes and can see where a rubber tube goes into the indicator housing.

Can't for the life of me work out how to get to the bulb!

Cheers

From memory last year - from inside the panel, inside the wheel arch you have to unscrew a metal jam jar lid type cover...the internals should them come away and allow you to replace the bulb. Also from memory I don't think the bulb is a standard bulb...seem to remember ordering orange ones (my cerb has clear lenses) from TVR parts...might be getting mixed up here so maybe others will also add their comments. All a bit of a hassle and fiddly just to replace a bulb but thats TVR for you!

Hi
Wheel off, there is a square panel with around 8 screws to undo. These might be tricky to get off. The indicator is bonded into the bumper, hold the main body and unscrew the wire part, bulb is in that part.

God i hope that is right, as only going by when i changed mine to clear.

Might be worth giving it a squirt of WD40 whilst you're in there. Did my side light yesterday and although the other side was working the new bulb didn't. Did a bit of contact scraping and WD40 squirting and it eventually came to life. Just a thought.

Unscrew the Big brass Jam Jar lid thing.
