Does anyone know - where along the wiring to/from the two small side indicator lamps on the front wings run and
- where, if at all, one can access it?
Despite the bulbs seemingly being OK neither of them works, although the indicators as such are fine. Peter |

The Green and Black wires run through the inner wing to a bunch of wires under the Kick Panels you can see them on this picture to the left of the A post where the light is shinning   |

Thanks John, I'll have a look there. Although, with the car (or that area) not being disassembled I am a little doubtful how much I will be able to do about it if the wiring is faulty.

Before you do anything drastic like trying to get at the back of the side repeaters, remove the bulb and connect up a voltmeter to one side of the mounting clip, and the other to a good earth. Switch on the indicators and check whether the needle moves up and down around the 12v mark.
It could be a faulty earth or the mounting clips may be the problem.
If you haven't got a voltmeter you can use a continuity screwdriver, the lead with a croc clip on goes to earth, and put the screwdriver end on the mounting clip, (nearest the front). The bulb should light up like the repeater does.
If you have no volt,s then is the time to explore more deeply.
