I have just noticed while washing the car i have a loose n/s fog light. Is this an easy fix (once ive jacked up the car, taken the wheel off, removed the rubber gromet etc etc etc). What i mean is it worth all that effort just to find out its a job for the garage, or is it just a matter of tightening a few screws
I was also thinking about SHINY NUTS on anthracite wheels, would that work??? or just look silly any thoughts. Cammy

You might be able to get at the light, but you might have to remove the large panel, But its normally stuck on with so much mastic that you might tear it whilst removing it, Once the panel is off its quite easy to get at, be careful though as you will get lots of fibreglass splinters!!!
You will find that the light itself is (was) only stuck in with 4 blobs of polyester bonding paste, and it has cracked away.
Thats where most of the water gets into the front of the light!!!
When you have removed the lamp, thats also a good time to make a small add on pipe to your hoover, to remove the dust that has got in.
When rebonding the light back in, remember where the top was

Cheers Dave once i get a nice dry day i,ll give it a go as my garage is to narrow to work on the sides of the car. It does sound a bit involved though? my only problem is as soon as its a nice day im off for a drive I guess its not a major issue, thanks for the info. Cammy
