Driving past Swindon yesterday - sun was out, wind in my hair, medalion glinting in the sun... I knew I was the coolest thing ever to pass Swindon at 80 leptons.

Bang thud, The left indicator popped out, bounced over the front, bounced off the road, off the windscreen, over the cabin, dinged the engine cover and under the wheels of the lorry in the inside lane. He almost crashed he was laughing so much.

As I was close to Specialised Paintwork, I popped in. Karl sorted me out a treat. New light, clam sanded so it wont pop out again and no charge for labour. The best service in the business.

Thank you gentlemen!

This has happened to me 4 times now, 3 in the last year or so. When they istalled the new indicator, did they have to amend the clip that holds it in, by adding what Lotus call "P Clip". If they didnt, it is most likely to happen again.
My understanding is that these new clips have been available for the last 18months or so and yet all previous indicators until yesterday were always installed with the previous version.
