Hi All,

 

MOT last Thursday, did all usual checks to make sure nothing important had "fallen off" only to find high level brake light not working !

 

Checked with testing station - not part of MOT test - phew ! Decided to have a look, pulled on trim around window which unclipped at the usual just before breaking point of the plastic ! Found back of light, held on by three plastic nuts - these are not much more than finger tight ! Undid these, pulled light unit away from frame as far has the rear screen water hose would allow (why so tight ? are they trying to save a few mm of plastic pipe ?). Pulled off electrical connector (has a clip at the bottom which needs releasing) plugged back in and WORKING again ! Gave it a couple more off and ons, now OK.

Saved around £30 (Ebay) well pleased.

 

Cheers,

 

Lloyd

The middle part of the washer jet comes out of the light so you don't need to undo the tube. 

 

The seal went on mine and corroded and he electrics and caused random problems.
