GTV side repeaters

Hi all.

The side repeater on my 1982 Alfetta GTV just stopped working and I'm
ashamed to say I have totally failed to get the unit out to investigate :-(

It's one of the later models so it has the square type repeaters, I've tried
pushing, pulling, twisting and even my usual Alfa 'stand-by' procedure -
swearing at it.

I haven't done any of this with too much force in case I snap something but
does anyone know which way they come out?

Cheers

Mike

AFAIK there is a platic lug that clips it to the body work. Squeezin
opposing sides of the repeater should allow it to compress and fall out.
Of course, if your GTV is rusting, this happens more easily.

Do'h. Easy when you know how isn't it?

Ah yes. I've just had in my hand a side repeater and a neat pile of flakes
of FE2 O3 - or as 'er indoors insists on calling it "Alfa hundreds and
thousands" - her insistence that there's a circle of them around my parking
spot is cruel and hurtful (if alamingly true).

Many thanks for your prompt replies gentlemen.

That's true of everything I assume it worked?

Sirius Cybernetics Corporation and Alfas in the same post - that's scarey.
I can see the advert now, "Your rusty pal who's fun to be with". And as for
Alfas with Genuine People Personality - just don't go there.
