My passenger side brake lamp has given up the ghost, and I am told I need to replace the whole unit. The cost of this made me sit down suddenly. Before I replace, could I just check:

a) that there is no-one who repairs them, and
b) that they are the same unit as found on the DB9, rather than unique to the V8V?

My car has now had new brakes all round, new springs, and will soon have new lights. It's just had the major service. Clutch has checked out fine. I'm having a baby in August and will no longer use it - I think it's time to sell as it will be one of the most sorted 40,000 mile 4.3s on the market, I think - no major work required now for many miles!

Thanks chaps. A kind PHer has PM's me saying he has some for sale, and I think I shall take him up on his offer!

Thank you again though - and I think I am going to try the oven thing as well, just for the hell of it!
