Well, I did what I shouldn't do at the moment and laid on the floor and found the clip to release the bulb unit, before getting into the inner part where the bulb was.  Bulb changed, so another thing off the list before the MOT in January. :y

To think the Vx dealer wanted £27 to do that! :o :o

My MOT tester failed me for a Dip beam bulb a few years ago, he fitted me one and when the Test bill came in I asked about the bulb as ther was no charge.  all I got was see you this time next year. :y :y
A few years back Mrs B's Citroen went to AN Other local tester (because I'd left it to the last minute .... ie the MOT had expired  :-X) he failed it for a duff rear bulb & then subsequently passed it after he'd fitted a new one. No charge for the new bulb but ....... fast forward some time, I discovered that he'd broken the rear cluster. Obviously I couldn't then prove it.
I hold my hands up for letting the MOT expire & not checking the car properly before submitting it for test ..... but he didn't hold his hands up for over tightening the cluster's thumb screw & breaking it  :-X
They say that most people don't complain about bad service but then never ever use that service provider again ..... count me in with 'most people'

Having said this  the Mexican is not helped by being a 'fat bastard' at around 1700KG......a decent 2 door coupe of yesteryear, like a 3 litre Capri, weighed in at around 1000 KG. ???

Crash protection weighs heavy  ;)
