Title: HELP!!
Post by: sesterfield on 03 September 2004, 15:28

ok, big dickhead moment today, whilst swapping my drivers side side repeater I removed the lense and the bulb and wires didn't follow, they must have drooped into the bodywork somewhere  :-[ I've tried fishing around with my fingers but I can't feel it anywhere! is there an easy way to access the wiring?

Thanks in advance I feel such an idiot  :'( lol I did the passengers side one fine though :P

The same happened to me - the moment the wire disappears you just think Ohhhhh for f*ck sake!

If you put the her on full lock you should be able to do it with the wheel on - sooo much quicker !!

I found 3 snails hiding behind there on mine - nasty  ;D

Thought I'd try fishing it out with a coathangar one more time before taking the whole lot off - and managed to find it!? ;D how lucky? ;)  Thanks for the help guys it's much appreciated!

Since I'd saved that bit of time I fitted some chromed armour plates to my door handles too, pretty chuffed I managed to get it done before I had to go out? :P
