I can honestly say that I have never ever driven or worked on such a peice of shit design as the vivaro

Nothing is easy

And you can't change the headlight bulb as they say in the manual without removing the headlight because the cunty windscreen washer bottle filler is situateted directly behind the bulb

What cunt though this though

So what I need from you is to tell me how to do it without using a hammer

 

Can you not undo the washer bottle and move it aside?

 

Grill off head lite out 5 min job

 

All modern vehicles are designed to have once simple tasks like this, made very bloody difficult. It's so the average joe then books the car in at a dealer for it to be done at a minimum charge of an hours labour.

Just take a hammer to it dojj!

 

I'd take the grille off if I had vauxhall special tool number 575-5699

But I've only got my fingers

Oh well, to the dealership

 

They're a piece of piss to do!!!

 

The washer bottle is in the way
Can't remove it
But the multiplug for the light is behind it
And then you have to remove a rubber cover
Then another clip
Then the light comes out
But before you do any of that, you can't actually see what you are doing because of the shit design

On a transit you remove 2 screws and a plug and the whole headlight comes out, nice and simple

 

SNAFU ???

situation normal all fcuked up

I haven't had to do this on a vivaro but I helped on a friends Clio we had to had to take the front wheel off to change the head light bulb

no really I do mean it access was by a removable panel in the wheel arch!

 

Try changing a clutch on them.What a bastard of a job they are.

 

really? i find them quite straight forward!

 

if it stops snowing i'll get a pic up to show you what i'm up against and then let you make up your own minds

 

I don't see how you find it so hard! I changed mine the other day in about 2 minutes and that was taking my time!!



Absolute doddle!

 

may be you have smaller hands than DOJJ ?

 

Saves me posting a pic at least lol

But how the fuck did yogurt you hands in there? I can't even bend my arms round enough to get to the plug let along the rubber things

 

Believe me when I say my hands are far from svelte!!

I've got sausages for fingers!! Lol!

I literally had no problem at all Dojj!! I've done it a few times now and never struggled!

Saying that though, I've struggled with stuff in the past and someone else has done it straight away! We all find things easier or more difficult than others.

 

You know what my answer to you is?

Recall, if you will, the opening scenes of bad boys where Martin Lawrence has just dropped a chip in will smiths porches

Holding up his crooked hand he says something along the lines of "you come up with this shit?!?!?!"

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about

 

got another one to do

i've undone 3 screws that i can see that seemed to hold the front grille in place, they don't they hold the entire front panel in place

i've undone the 3 screws i can see that hold the headlight in place, the headlight won't come out

fuck it, it's going to vauxhall as none of the lights on that side work

cunty vans

 

Wait til you buy yourself a mk2 megane

 

I was lucky, mine was leased through Sky, so didn't cost me to repair!
It went through a few headlight bulbs, 4 rear calipers, power steering pump and a gearbox. Was in the dealers a few times to sort the dash board lights. Crock of shit. Think Renault did the electrics, so no wonder that fucked up! Lol
Got a nice new VW Transporter now

 

i've been told to leave it at a halfords auto centre

they said come back at 3

 

Bring it to me and I'll do it in 2 minutes!!

 

you supply the bulbs and i'm on my way

 

 

i've got a date at 4pm so if you are 55 minutes away i can be back in time for it
