Title: Side light bulb removal
Post by: squattingbeaver on 19 May 2009, 11:10:42

Hi Everyone

Appologies if this is a silly question, but do you have to remove the battery to replace the n/s side light bulb?
Had a quick look at it does not look like you can get your hand down when the plastic cover is removed.

Thanks

Depends on your hands really. I can just about reach mine but then I have long thin hands.

Thanks for this, I might take out the battery to be on the safe side as I om more on the side of sausage fingers than slim and slender :D

I assume no problem can arise from battery removal, I have the radio code and carnt think of anything else..or is there??

Reset the radio, windows and sunroof after battery disconnection.

You can just remove the clamp from the base & move the battery over a bit, that'll just about give you enough room to get your hands in.  :y
