Ah, great.  I'll give that a go.

Ok tried the suggestion but still no good. Do you think that the Multipoint check that is done when you buy a used car should jaw picked this up?

Cheers,

Try removing the light unit and check the plugs in right and the bulbs in correctly. Try wiggling the wires into the plug as it maybe a bad connection. If you have a multimeter you could measure the voltage at the connector and bulb.
If its not just the bulb it should be covered under your warrenty.

Thanks for the advice, I'm an office boy with no idea on anything about cars! I've tried to remove the light cover, it slides to the right but does not come off what am I doing wrong?

Its on a spring clip. IIRC there s little slot in the side you can insert a screw driver into to help pull it out. If your worried about breaking it just leave it.

You could just pop into your local VW dealer and ask them to have a quick look. Most are open this time of year just people don't think they are.

Sorted! Took the light off with screw driver as suggested and the connecting block had come away from the bulb.

Thanks all
