Welcome aboasrd Derek! With your side repeater, remove the lamp as you did to replace the bulb, disconnect the plug and spray some switch/contact cleaner into the end of the plug and on the contacts in the lamp holder. Refit, test. You may have to repeat this several times before the combination of dis/re-connect and the switch cleaner cleans the oxidisation off the contacts. If several attempts don't fix it, do similar with the bulb and holder but also worth checking the bulb actually works.

Thank you for the tips will give them a go at weekend

Sounds like Good advice -Dave. --Frank

Can i ask why the battery was replaced in the first place? Also was it a brand new battery? If so, take it back and get them to do a drop test on it to make sure the battery itself is ok. Then check for all the small lights like map reading lights etc in the car are off when they should be, also check your boot light goes out when the the boot is shut.
