 Headlights Aaarrghhh!! - crocks
Went to see a friend yesterday. As I was leaving she asked me if I could replace a headlight bulb for her. No problem thought I. She has a Ka.

Five minutes later and minus some skin the old bulb was out. All the replacement bulbs she offered were the wrong sizes so down the road to get the right one. Bulb back in and working within two minutes.

Then the fun started. No matter how I tried I couldn't get the cover back on over the bulbs. I had no tools with me or I would have taken the battery out to improve access. Finally I found an IKEA hex key that would fit the TORQ screws and took the inner wing off under the wheel arch. Then it was easy!!

Next time I'm asked I'll know what answer to give.
