Hi all! 

 

As the topic suggests, my rear right indicator bulb holder is corroded, causing the indicator to flash really rapidly. 

 

I was hoping i could simply replace the bulb holder, but i can't seem to find it on minispares. Does it mean i have to replace the entire assembly?? That's 40 quid!

Try giving the contacts a careful clean up ...with some rolled medium grit wet & dry
I'd suspect it's the positive connection causing the issue and it's a pig to clean up just from the perspective of access....unless you've got a Dremel...you just need clean firm contact....
How that moisture got in there in the first place needs investigating...

Never seen new bulb holders -but you could replace it with a second-hand bulb holder from a scrap light unit.

If only you knew someone who had one going spare.... & lives only 10 miles from Russel & Karen's premises ;-)

PM me.
