I was just randomly checking my lights as I occasionally do and found that the front near side indicator was out. So took the lens of hoping to find a blown blown bulb.

Problem solved.
We had 24 mm of rain during the day on Sunday. This lead to some flooding on the road to Chilfrome, here: I saw that the levels were meant be fairly high, so at about 9.30 pm I saw it was 1.69 m, I thought I’d have to have a look: So after tinkering with the Land Rover off I went: The speed of the water coming through the gate way to the right was impressive and as I drove on through meant I had to correct for the sideways movement.
