anyone got an aprox cost as all the lugs have snapped off mine on one side and the othe has only 1 left so it seems they are a problem for anyone who has done it on my car before

Just don't let it fall off into your gearbox cables.

[a lot of people won't have a clue to what I'm referring ]

This happened to me, but was repaired under warranty. However, as a temporary fix I used two tiny screws (too small to actually bite) which just sat in the holes at the top, and held the back on.

might need a new unit, this happened on my focus and a new unit was needed. not cheap :(

bengie i hope not as its obviously a design flaw with 3 of the 4 tabs on them breaking off

oh, you didn't knock it at all. thats what i did with my focus

I didnt affix my Offside one on properly, and the top part sprang back and got worn down by the alternator pully :eek: not as silly as jasons... but still not good (wondered why i could smell burning plastic)

See? Anyone can do it. At least mine just brought my car to a halt and the problem was sourced quickly. [what's that smell?]

i went to change the bulbs and the drivers side only had one clip on it but that undid and went back ok the passanger side one i pressed on lightly and the clip fell off the second clip was already broken off
