Water in front indicator casing (Ducato based MH)

[daventess]

Noticed there is a pool of water in both front indicator casings. About quarter full! Obviously, that's not good.

Off to France at 5am on Thursday so not much chance of getting a garage to look at it, though I will try.

I'm not very DIY inclined, but I'm not a complete idot either (there are bits of me missing). Can't find any youtube vids on removing the casing to get rid of the water. Is that something within the realms of a poor DIYer, in case I can't get a garage in time? Could anyone guide me if it is?

Why is there never enough time?

It would help to know the ducato model or just a pic.
In the short term it shouldn't matter but eventually it will deteriorate and affect the bulb contacts so may be mot problem.
As long as the indicators are working don't let it spoil your holiday!

As a temporary fix can you drill a small 1.5mm hole at the bottom to let it drain?

Hmm.. that may well be within my skillset as well

Lovely looking van,
there you go- two solutions!
Dont know for sure but could they be standard Hella Lights?
In which case look them up on web and see how to replace a bulb- that will give you a clue as to how they seal

Lovely looking van,

Thank you How it looked was 40% of the buying decision. The layout was 59%. Whether everything worked and was still covered by any form of warranty was the final 1%....
