Did you mean indicators or fogs?

@Drax Oh thanks so much a bonnet stay holder has been ordered, it's been bugging me for ages.

@K30DPC I meant the lower indicators, my driver side one is cracked and now has a hole.

Also can I add to my list a gauge cluster as my fuel and temp have suddenly gone all funky since changing the timming belt, water pump and alternator!
It had been sitting for a long time so perhaps it just an age thing, any tips of getting it out and checking wires etc...?

Also note I will be at Japfest, so happy to collect any bits at the show.

time is usually a healer here, same happens to mine every time it is sat a while. i think the damp & condensation runs down the front window and onto the circuit for these clusters and prevents them from working until they are dried out.

mine went after rebuilding my engine but once i'd driven it a few times she'd dried out and they came back on. maybe help things but putting a warm fan heater or small de-humidifier in the car for a few hours to help dry it out. i also put an old towel (and change it every week or so) tucked at the bottom of the front window and the dash to try and absorb as much moisture running down the window as possible. during winter anyway, i dont bother during the summer.

I may have indicators. I must double check it. And for sure I have working PCB with gauges. Not sure if I have one with all warning lights and it may be only PCB but this is easy to swap. Give it a try and if still doesn't work remind me before Japfest. I'm planning to show up.

@K30DPC That would be fantastic if you have indicators & working gauges. I did removed my gauges and inspected them but they appear fine to me with no capacitors leaking or dodgy PCB solder joints. I will add a separate post about what I found as when I remove the dash I found a very crusty wiring loom!
