My Spaceback has a niggling intermittent fault - when I open the hatchback the interior light (on the left) doesn't come on.

If I gently tap it, it does comes on - clearly a connection fault?

But how does the light fitting come out please?

Thanks.

You just lever it out from the edge nearest the boot opening with a screwdriver or thin piece of plastic. I used a Nectar card when I replaced mine last year.

Thanks Chris, finally have a nice day to clear out my boot and have a good poke around.

Have an old credit card waiting to assist...

Will post if I find anything interesting

Do keep us posted. Chances are it's nothing more than a loose bulb or a loose connector.

remove the bulb and put a multimeter on it to confirm the power is there.

Then take it from there.

Many apologies to those following this thread, but I finally got around to getting on with it today.

I followed Chris's advice using an old credit card to carefully lever out the boot light fitting (good idea, ta).

The fitting comes apart quite easily, but take care if you're not familiar with it.

The bulb was not sitting correctly in the actual holder, and was simply and quickly re-seated.

I popped a meter on the terminals and all ok (another good idea, ta RickTT).

I suspect it could vibrate loose again at some stage in the future, but for now a straight forward and successful repair.

Thanks for the advice guys, all working properly now.
