Hi All,

Anyone have any experience with the big-ass rear light/reflector/shiny thing on the facelift leggie...

mine is full of water :embarasse and has been since the summer...

I got it dried out (on the basis it could be a jetwash thing...) over the summer, but now the winter is here again apparently it has all filled up with water again.

I looked at taking it off before but it seems to be stuck on?

Is this true, or am I just being too genteel (pinkie stuck out whilst holding one's spanner)

I have a replacement (thank you ebay) - but I need to get the old one off first, and I'd rather not break it off.

Thanking you,

Adam

Never had a problem with one. Sorry - can't be more use! Can you tell how it fits looking at the new one?

There's a load of bolts - 6 or 8 and what looks like a seating gasket thingy (which I don't have - I can't tell if it's just a rubber or a mastic doo-dah.

Just wondering if someone was there already... /help

Mine leaks a lot, I was just going to get a 1mm drill bit and drill a few holes at either end of it.

If anyone knows the answer to this question it will be BDA. If you remember he stripped nearly everything off his car last month for the POD :inquisiti
