Can anyone shed any light on how to replace an indicator bulb on a peugeot 106  No access in the engine bay to it and the light unit wont come out unless the bumper's off

Cant quote on the 106 I am afraid but have just done a headlight bulb on a 2009 Astra MK5 and there is a little flap in the inner wheel arch plastic bit. Turn the steering for easier access. I found it a reasonable job, would not like to do it in the wet as found it easier to sit on the floor.

HTH in some small way.

Just had a quick look , there is a hatch but small .. does it have a twist off connection for the bulb holder ?

IIRC pull rubber cover off carefully, there will be a retaining clip squeeze it in, bulb should come out

I was worried the relay thingy would burn out ticking like that  Happy with the car though and thanks for putting that pipework on  It dont sound like a tank now

Them 106s are fun though-ok not a big car but they do what it says on tin=aimed at city/young peeople so old gits like us can have cheap insurance/fuel bills so £ for £ bargain
