Alexander 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Just to top off a legendary day a week into my Corrado ownership - indicator bulb has gone on the front passenger side. No problem, thinks I - got loads of spare bulbs. The screw was obviously rusted in and before I knew it, I've stripped the cross-head off the screw. What a numpty. I'm going to soak it in WD40 (should maybe have done this before trying it the first time) and try again in the morning, but if I really can't get the screw out, what can I do? Obviously I can't really drive it very long with no front indicator. As I say - Nuts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanVW 0 Posted November 9, 2007 The front indicator's dont have a screw in them? On the early or late bumpers they are held in with a spring clip and pop out with a little help from a small flatblade screwdriver :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander 0 Posted November 9, 2007 This one definitely has a screw in it! Although I know what you mean, I've seen 16vs without. Will I have to drill it out? Take the bumper off and unscrew it from the back with pliers??? Totally at a loss, and although it's a daft thing, you wouldn't believe how unsafe you feel driving around with no left indicator!

Philuk 0 Posted November 9, 2007 might sound a bit violent but try pressing a flat head into it and "screwing" other than that, make sure its properly soaked in WD and get a little hammer and a pointy device and try turning it so far with that till u can grab with pliers?

craigowl 0 Posted November 9, 2007 I read "plusgas" aerosol was best for freeing rusted screws, etc. Have used this recently and not had any probs, but appreciate that is not a scientific assesment. Can you dremel a new, broad slot in the screw head? I would never be without my dremel (or, rather a copy of it) for things like this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander 0 Posted November 10, 2007 Now that would be a great idea, if I had a dremel! Must put one on my shopping list. Plus, the hole is really deep so I can't see how I'd get a cutting blade into it. Off to see my dad and his clever mechanic neighbour tomorrow, hoping one of the two will have a solution! What a pain in the arse! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted November 10, 2007 you can get a set of bolt/screw remover (from halfords i think) .....they are like drill bits with a reverse thread.....put in a drill and go anti-clockwise and as it catches it unscrews the bolt/screw.....not that dear either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanVW 0 Posted November 10, 2007 The screw you can see is the adjuster for the fog lamp aim! Its not attached to the indicator :-) As you can just about make out from the attached pic, it shows an early fog and indicator I have laying about. Just slip a small flatblade inbetween the fog lamp and indicator and leaver the indicator accross away from the fog light, trust me it will pop out!

Alexander 0 Posted November 10, 2007 Damnit, you're absolutely right! So this just means I've messed up my fog light adjusting screw - no great loss. Indicator bulb now replaced! Yay! Thanks Dan, and the rest of you who were blatantly right in the first place... :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
