A slight misfiring problem solved this morning (147 JTD) - caused by
injector wire coming loose.....

....and the sidelight bulb - had to pay dealer to change it this time as I
couldn't get the holder to budge..... my consolation for the labour charge
is that it took them 1/2hr to do it!

In a good sense or in a bad sense?

If it was the bloke after me in the service queue, bad - he'd brought his
156 in for it's third £50 bulb change......

They were certainly impressed (and probably dismayed, financially) that I'd
already managed to change 2 myself without breaking/losing anything - I
think they superglued the sidelight bulb in just to teach me a lesson ;)

Well *I* managed  an indicator (OS) all by myself, and both the indicator
repeaters when I put the clear ones on. ;)

I'm surprised.  I changed the side indicator repeaters for clear lenses
in about 10 minutes...

Oh yes the repeaters are a cinch.  For laughs, try the near side side
light......

What did they do?  Mount an aftermarket alarm module *right* behind it, so
that has to be unbolted first?

Not that any PO of my car would have done such a thing......
