I'm doomed :slap:
First the dealer knacks my locking wheel nuts....causing ripe language and loss of hair by the handful.........not a lot to begin with!!
NOW!!!! both of my headlamp motors have gone south :bog: :bog:
How difficult is it for a single celled mutant i.e....me to replace both motors without having to resort to much alcohol and mumbling?
I'm at my wits end......
All help appreciated

is it quite a mare, remove the wiper arm, the panel under the headlamps has a clip just inside the bonnet holding it to the slam panel, the other side just push fits into a bracket under the indicator. Behind than panel you'll find 2 bolts (2 or 3 not sure), undo these & the motor can be removed through the engine bay, the wires are on a plug so unplug that & its then a case of getting it up through the small gap & passed all the wiring in the bay. As for refitting i've no idea because i just brought new panels without holes for the wipers (but would thought it would be very hard because of getting it back into the correct place & lining it up with the holes in the metal)

if BOTH motors have gone at once I would check that it's not something else that's at fault. I wouldn't expect both to pack up at once, check the wiring and fuses etc before pulling half the car apart....
Or do what I did and disconnect them - never have to worry then
if your going to do that isn't it worth spending £10 for the blank panels & getting rid of them properlyQuote:
