Theres a little clip on one side that needs to be pushed in as you pull.

Can't remember which way, but basically you push the repeater to the front or rear of the car and it will just pop off in your hands.  No tools necessary, put the screwdrivers away!!!

Just done them and was easy peasy. Get a flathead screwdriver. A nice cloth to protect the car. Now from the side nearest the engine. Put the flat head in that way and gently push. It will pop out!

Anyone know the cut off year for cars that are allowed to have the side repeators removed?

I thought it was around 84 but just wanted to check.

LEgal law states that side indicators are not nessersary (sp?) as long as there are no holes for indicators to fit into, hence rallyes get away with it as there is a G60 badge in place, and many others just fill the hole and paint over it.  :cool:
