Probably the bulb has been stolen to replace a duff one.
It should be a standard feature as it is operated by the BECM, regardless of whether the tow electrics are fitted, the loom is there.
Of course some idiot may have wired into the lights instead of using the connector provided, in which case the indicator would not work.

I meant the bulb!
Think you're right, someone has nicked the bulb for something else. You can get 10 for £2 off the Bay with free postage.

One of the first jobs I did on mine was replace every interior bulb with a fresh one. It was like the great Christmas switch on that night!

Looked smaller, somehow. Although now I look at my avatar mine don't look so big either.
Replaced all instrument binnacle bulbs. Would you believe it? 21 286 bulbs and I only bought 20 so I left one as it was: the trailer bulb!

It's twelfth engine oil & filter change since I've owned it.
Did the gearbox as well as the new one has done about 5k. Nice clean ATF coming out but, as I expected, the magnet was a bit furry.
Greased front prop and checked front diff. Rears tonight once I get the knots out of my spine. Oh for a ramp or a pit.

Nothing, just got back from 10 days in Scotland. Will try and start her tonight, see what happens. I am hoping she starts because the fault was just a duff battery. We shall see.
Also, Merc is poorly. Failed MoT because 2 wheels were cracked. Windscreen has a stone chip right in drivers line of sight (over 10mm so needs new screen) and think we've finally got to the bottom of the boot not playing. This bill is going to be huge. Haha.

Took it to local garage for them to take to MOT station, garage owners wife takes it to MOT station only to find she can not open drivers door from inside, so, No MOT today and another problem to fix.

Second-hand ramps are quite reasonable on the Bay. It is where to put it that is the problem!

New two post lifts are not expensive either rated for 2.5 tonnes. The major cost is the ground work and concrete needed to install one. I opted to dig a pit, cheaper and in the case of mine safer as one end is open.
