markyboy Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hi all, I have a 1992 200Tdi 90 and the offside front side repeater (indicator) isn't working. I'm assuming it's just the bulb because front and rear indicators are working fine. (I know it's dangerous to make assumptions where Land Rovers are concerned but hey, I'm an optimist ). I started to have a look how the lamp comes out of the wing last night and it appeared to be held on by double sided tape, does anyone know if this is correct? I think I've read in this forum that some are screwed on and some twist and pull off. Can anyone confirm which version mine should have please? Thanks in advance, Mark.

BobtailBogey Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 i know mine were on my RRC but the bulb holder twists out from inside the wing. not sure if it would be the same on your 90 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Bobtail, Double sided tape seems like a bit of a bodge to me, can't believe they'd be like that from the factory. Could just be that the proper fixing has broken and someone has used a bit of, shall we say, ingenuity. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 They are clipped in as standard, but too much force will break the tabs that hold it in, so tape, silicone, chewing gum, etc are then used. If it's the bulb, then it should be a capless bulb - about 30p. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errol209 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 On my 90 fitted with the gen. part there is a screw holding one end in. The unit is held to the wing with two studs and nuts (which are a***s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyboy Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Thanks everyone, That pretty much confirms what I thought. There's certainly no screw in the lens. Looks like it'll have to go back on with double sided tape then...... Many thanks. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8defender90 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 The ones on mine are held buy to little nuts. The wing has got three holes in. Right pain in the arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Mark. later rectangular repeater lights are held by 2 pins into 2 plastic receptacles that press into the wing skin. you can prise the lense out carefully, mine have double sided car trim repair tape on them too.

jbs Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 or you could go the TD5 route of side indicator's like i have on mine they're flush with the bodywork as some will know and after doing quite a bit of offroading i still have'nt managed to knock them off of my 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 or you could go the TD5 route of side indicator's like i have on mine they're flush with the bodywork as some will know and after doing quite a bit of offroading i still have'nt managed to knock them off of my 90 Sounds like a good option. What mods have to be made to the wing, any pics, part no's ...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I picked up my side indicator's off of e-bay for about £15 + p&p and then made a template out of cardboard using the rear of the side indicators, marked the hole out with a permanent marker pen and then cut the hole out where my original mounting holes were with a drill and filed the holes square to fit, just take your time and get it right as you don't really want to be replacing a outer wing because you've screwed the measurements up when cutting the hole out Or you could always get hold of a td5 wing/s and it'd be right before you have to do any sorts of mod's to it HTH John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi all, Turs out mine are like the ones Ralph describes here. The 2 plastic pins on the back of the lamp have broken off. I've cleaned everything up and will replace with the double sided tape, don't fancy buying new lamps when there's not really anything functionally wrong with the ones fitted. OK I'm a cheapskate........ Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to be aware of the options though and clearly it works for you. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
