Welcome to the madhouse :D
Have you checked the horn fuse (details on fact sheet in Member's area)?
If you've got side repeaters, I assume you've got a new shape Bongo. I'm not sure about these but, older shapes have a prominent bulge on the side of the front indicator lens. If you have these, you do not need the side repeaters. It's not a good idea to just tape them up though.
To be honest, all 3 things should be checked regularly - why take it for MOT with them not working :?
