Indicator bulb removal

My 2004 1.9 Sports Tourer seems to have a problem with the left hand indicator bulb coming loose. it's happended a few times and I have taken the bulb holder out and re fitted it which has been fine. Yesterday it happended again after approx 6 months. I took the bulb holder out, put a bit of wd 40 on the connections and put it back in but this time it didn't work. I then wasn't able to remove the bulb holder- it turns and gets to point where it clicks so I'm wondering if I have damaged something ?!!Although I couldn't remove the bulb holder I was able to tighten the holder so did get the indicator working again after a bit of fiddling.
The clicking bit has worried me and I'm wondering if I may have problems if I need to replace the bulb, anyone encountered this and am I likely to have damed the light unit? thanks.

Hi I seem to be having the same problems with my indicator bulb holder did you manage to get yours out in the end?
Mine turns but won't come out at all!

Have you removed the whole cluster, or fiddling through the tiny hole in the arch liner? The bumper off-on is a 20 minutes job, 10 minutes each way...
