Hi Guys,

I seem to have a blown bulb in the R/H rear brake light in the tailgate, any advice on how to get at it, do I need to remove the door card in the tailgate?

Cheers,

Dave

PS, nice to see S R Burnsey still popping up on the site!

Hi Dave
Yes you need to remove the door card and the globes are T20 wedge type they are a bit hard to get at but once done forget for a few years.
Also make sure they are put in tight as they are a bast**d to get out if the globe falls into the lense ares.

Cheers Dave,

Maybe a bit far!! I'll see how I get on myself

Thanks again,

Hi Dave,

in the end it seemed like to big of a job and I really couldn't be arsed, so as an alternative I have got my mother in law running behind with a torch with a bit of red cellophane over the bulb.

Should work a treat if only the old dear could only keep up, maybe I could attach a rope (I would hate to loose that torch it is a really nice one).

Thanks for your suggestions though and if it does'nt work out I may have to send you the air fare.
