How to get indicator back?? from wing!
« on: May 31, 2010, 14:33:38 PM »
I don't believe a simple job has gone to ratsh*t so quickly ::) (would normally make sure it was taped to the bodywork)..but having removed the bulb holder from the side indicator..it bleedin dropped back through the wing!! :'(..is it a wheel off and inner wheel trim removing to get at it?...could I some how rewire another bulb holder in routing the wires to the loom somewhere?..i'm a little p*ssed off... >:(

How would wiring up a new bulb be any easier than finding the old one?

put a big screwdriver in the gap between the liner and the wheel arch, then open the gap a bit, then put a crowbar with cardboard taped on the end (to stop damaging the wing)  into the gap and use it to push agaianst the wing and the liner bend the liner right away from the wheel arch, use the other hand and you can get the indicator plug

I take it this is a method you have used in the past?..surely I ain't the only (to quote big shrek..f*ck-tard?..in the club? ::)..I could name a few! ;))...to have lost the indicator intothe wing?

Coat hanger with a small hook bent on one end is all you need, now go fishing.

Just pretend you're a BMW driver, won't make any difference if you have an indicator or not :D
