Just when I needed you most
 

-1.5, windows and doors all iced up and the webasto is not working. PCB removed to send to FrenchMike.

Blessed bulb warning light comes on during the journey. Apparently offside dipped beam has gone.

I guess I'd better get changed and have a go at getting the bulb out.

I thought you were on about the song. Randy van warmer sang.
Great song.
Sorry for being off topic

'Cause I need you more than I needed before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most :D

Your poor knuckles.

I had to change my dipped bulbs last Saturday.

Have spent all week looking like I've been street fighting thanks to my shovel hands :)

It should be an easy job, but I too find access a nightmare, I've found the easiest way is to take a front wheel off ......

Really? Blow that, if that's the case, sorry, but it will have to wait until I get home.
I don't like to drive with a light out I'll have to leave early so I get home in day light.

Take wheel off too
 

I take wheel off too. Takes 5 mins and you can then see what you are doing properly.

:shrug:

Im 20 and play Guitar so have very small and nimble fingers.. I find changing bulbs on my 75 quite a breeze.

Feel free to hire my hands. Very good rates lmao.

I find the "easiest way to change these bulbs is to apply full steering lock (so front of tyre is pointing inwards on the side the bulb needs changing on)
open the bonnet, then work through the access panel in the wheel arch, whilst looking through the bonnet opening to see what I am doing.
Not the easiest job for somebody with fat fingers, but nothing too problematic.
But happy to give anybody a hand if they want to pop around :)

I have relented as its not so cold and windy today and taken the advice and removed the front wheel. All working now.
its not that difficult of a job to do, once you know how

thank you for the advice
