Found out now why the fog lights hadn't been changed before I purchased the car. I thought at first when I started the driver's side that somebody must have had a go before. Got all the wheel archs loose, removed the two screws on the arches holding top sides of the bumper. Proceeded to start under the bumper, hang on where's the 1st bolt, oh that's it somebody has already done an Alan Shearer. Thought o.k, that's not great but repairable in the future. Removed the plastic locking pins, last bolt..just turns, been trying for over a hour to try and get the sucker to bite the thread. No not having any of it. Just couldn't make it up..always the last bolt. So just got to put all the thing back together. Going to have to get the car into work tomorrow morn if I can before I start work to either cut/grind the head off. Then when I have time to drill and tap the remains of bolts out. It looks like 6mm or 8mm and made of monkey metal so shouldn't be that hard. If not I will just drill it bigger and re-tap it or heli-coil it if there's enough depth..always a pain..gutted. Just wanted a nice easy sunday moring just to change two fog lights.
