:cry:
Took the other halfs 1.8t for an mot yesterday , it failed on the following:
o/s/f top mount
Front and rear side lights
Just did the front side light bulb!!!! Bit of an extreme proccess for a bulb! (Bumper off)
Done a few searches on the top mount, looks like it can be done DIY unless I have missed anything, does anyone have any tips? What size isvthe Allen key at the top?
-
Top mounts are easy enough to sort, you'll need a 7mm allen key & a 21mm deep socket that the allen key will fit through.
Have a look here for more info:

If that's all that it failed on then thats good going :afro:

Thanks for the link that's perfect!

Bumper off for a side light bulb? Why? Ive changed mine a fair few times without removing anything other than the cover on the rear of the light.
-
Because some people have bigger hands and cant get in there.
-
Hands must be HUGE! I was only under the impression that the battery needs removing to make access easier
if needed.

Offside is ok to do in situ, nearside is a ballache. I'd rather whip the bumper off than take the battery out tbh, I can have the bumper off and light out within 5-10mins tops.
