and now the other sides gone!
o/s headlight that is.
anyhow decided very quickly that my paws wern't going to fit into the gap, and THEN discovered an access panel on the inner wing. 2 mins and no swearing and we have light again. so all the aggro owners have suffered is because they haven't found the access panels? or is mine just special?

You don't have a V6 do you ?
I'll wager it's either the diesel or 4-pot. From what I've heard, the headlight bulbs on a V6 are a real pain to replace

Passenger side isn't too bad, but the driver's side is a nightmare. Access is lousy and when you've got your hand in, you can't see what you're doing. Always reminds me of James Herriott trying to deliver an awkwardly-placed calf.

Oh stop grizzling! At least you don't have to demolish half the car to access the bulb, unlike some modern motors......

A Rover 75 umbrella as imported by ProfDave (very nice, sits tidily across the rear headrests on the parcel shelf for those 'damp' moments we suffer from in this country.)
