Indicators

[hector]

My drivers side indicators have thrown a wobbler.The passenger indicators operate normally but the drivers side go like a machine gun on rapid fire,also only the drivers side repeater and the led pod are working the front bulb must be u/s?Any one had this,I presume it may be a fuse or pod related as the digital speed indication dropped to 13 mph while doing 80+ just prior to me noticing the indicator problem then started to read the same as the analogue again.

Sounds like a dead front indicator bulb. You'll need to remove the main bonnet and an access panel to replace it, but there should be a spare in the toolkit.

Agree that it sounds like the bulb. With respect to the speedo showing an inaccurate readout, well they all do that sir! In my case it needed the pod sending back to the factory although I understand that sometimes it doesn't.
Edited to say that having re-read your post hopefully the speedo issue was just a temporary result of the bulb blowing.

My drivers side bulb went a short while ago, same machine gun result. Needs main bonnet off & side access panel to get to it. Where's the tool kit hidden, is this a standard extra ??

[donaldhunter]

A toolkit came with mine. White lunch box with bulbs, fuses, spanner for bonnet, screwdriver, etc. Even a pair of cloth gardening gloves to keep your hands clean. Not stowed anywhere, just in the boot.

I am relieved its sounds like just a bulb replacement but am wary of removing the bonnet - I assume its a two man operation also I seem to be short of a toolkit.Might just have to wait until service time?

The toolkit came out around the time of the Tuscan S, and I am sure some owners will have forgotten to pass them on when selling their cars

You can buy the toolkit for about £35 I believe, or make your own up for a bit less

Yup, It's really a two man operation to lift the bonnet off the car. You'd need a 13mm socket for the four nuts and there's two quick release catches roughly in line with the side repeater indicators.

I think there are instructions in the owners manual for replacing the bulbs.

Donald - talking about lights, I started a thread last week about adjusting the beams on the headlights. Guess I am a boring twat as nobody answered.....but I think you had a problem adjusting the main beams a while back. Did you find the answers to the adjustment issues?
