New one on me
Indicator bulb out N/S rear
New bulb no luck one more new bulb no good
Have a good look around the holder all pristine clean
Desperately I took the other side holder out and disco a
Working indicator
I genuinely can see or understand why it as failed
£10 on eBay

I've had a couple fail on mine as well, I think they break internally as mine had no continuity when put on a mm.

If I understand correctly you can't get the balljoint fixing bolts in??

Loosen the arm at the front and rear bush.
Let it drop down a bit.
Bolt on the ball joint.
Angle the ball joint thread to the same angle as the hole in hub.
Push hub in and swing arm and ball joint thread up into the hub.

If you have fitted the ball joint to the hub first you will not do it !!

I think I tried everything

Don’t beat yourself up
I worked in a garage after I left school for 8 years and I still get “ done over “ by my Freelander sometimes

And know it’s added cost with new arms and big bush changes but it definitely tightened my front up
Any luck you will be sorted this weekend

Wrt the bulb holders. They have a right angle on them. One of mine snapped at the corner and there are contacts held together by pressure only on that bend. Any corrosion or vibration could make the lamp.holder go open circuit between the pins for the plug and the contacts for the bulb.
