Having only had new cars in the last 10 years i had forgotten what its like to drive down the road and find one my indicators had packed up' on getting home i had a look and found this

Wonder why I've got no earth to the bulb. Had to drill out screws to get the lamp off.

Well get the screws so hot they pull through the plastic Ground off the rust and slapped on some Hammerite for now and alls working great.
Whilst there thought I'd check the other light, all ok except no brake lights luckily just a switch adjustment. Don't think I'm ever gonna be bored with this motor

I'd be more worried about the state of the cross member that's under that checker plate
