I had a wonky side repeater.  THe headlight unit needed to be replaced.

 

As a side note, in modern cars at least if a "bilb/unit" goes bad you'll notice the  dash repeaterlight and relay will blink either erratically or at a different rate than normal.

Not noticed if the dash light blinks erratically but will check,any tips on removing the repeater unit.

It's in the owners handbook under 'bulb replacement'.

 

It's the whole unit which needs replacing, they come sealed with a self adhesive gasket on the back. You need to remove yours (a hairdryer will soften the adhesive) and apply firm, even pressure to 'peel' your indicator off the car and unclip it's fly-lead. Then replace with part number:

 

C132M4015F (Left hand) or C132M4016F (Right hand). It's part number 5 in the diagram below.

 

The gasket comes with a backing you remove then clip the lead back in and stick your indicator repeater back to the car.

Hi Thanks for the information .

I have purchased the part and with the use of fine fishing wire removed the unit from the wing ,but cannot see the connector block as the wire only extends a little outside of the hole,how do you access the terminal block,from under the wing arch or from  inside the car?

You need to remove the wheel and the shroud to expose it
