Wondering if someone............

FLYING BANANA · 15th May 2016, 11:07

..............could help me.
Hopefully there is someone that is local to me that could help.

I have a blown headlight on the near side of the V8. There is no inspection panel in the wheel arch and no access under the bonnet. So it means the bumper and headlight unit needs to come off. I lack both the tools and the confidence to do the job myself.

I'm happy to travel within the V8's petrol range to get it fixed. And happy to pay. Anytime from tomorrow is ok with me. I'll get the bulb.

Both Allen and Matt have offered but it will take 3 tankfuls there and back.

I'm free all day today. And local.

Otherwise could do after work - around 6 PM onwards on Monday.

Any good to you?

Only Barkingside I found is North East London. Is this where you are?

I'm about a hundred miles away. I have the tools I'm sure. A 200 mile round trip to have a head light fixed seems silly but your welcome. No payment as people have helped me. Can't get car in garage so pray for sun.
PM me if you dont get a better option.

Many Thanks for your kind offer. But I think it maybe sorted with the one above.

It is a pain isnt it Bob, i may try and fit 75 liners to mine.....

steve-45 · 15th May 2016, 14:54

Wonder why they fitted liners without the service hatches ?

Does not seen to make any sense, or was it because all V8 were expected to have xenons that don't blow on a regular basis ?
