Should save time and hassle, can you tell us where you put the masking tape, is it on the side of the wing or bumper sides, or under the bumper, not quite sure what you meant. Phil |

I would suggest he means taping the wing although if you have a person either side you can carefully allow the bumper to rotate forwards holding it away from the wings.

Headlights from halogen to xenon is a straight swap plug and play. Only need to swap the headlights, no need to change the lsm or anything else..

Not just Rover, of course.
Just changed a bulb on the wife's Giulietta. Even with my girlie-sized hands no way to do it on the car. Loosen wheel arch liner, loosen top of bumper and peel away from body. Unbolt and remove headlight. On my old 600 changing a bulb was a 10 minute job in a car-park. An oil change on the Giullieta involves removing the undertray which has 21 individual fixings securing it to the car. Takes more than twice as long as either the TF or ZT. |

You might think that, and 99.9% of the time you'd be right. but does depend on the person and their skin and the max deliverable current from the voltage source. It can sting! I don't see any way that the either of the headlamp dipped bulbs can be changed without using the hatch in the wheel arch, so if it wasn't there It would need the bumper and light removal.

About ten years ago, of an evening when a light drizzle was the air, I went to my local Halfords. I parked next to a car with a French registration. As I entered the store a man in his early fifties left. I trolled around the store for about fifteen minutes, bought something or other and left. The French car had it's bonnet up and sprawled across the engine was the driver, the self-same man who left the store around fifteen minutes earlier. Dead, very. Damp night, metal zip, exposed battery terminals . . .
