Well today I turned my attention to the 175, after waiting for some more parts to be delivered for the 182.
The other day I noticed the O/S front indicator bulb had gone so I got another one ready to fit today. Now I have owned an R26 in the past and even recently changed the main bulbs in the last couple of months on the 175. I know it's a tricky affair and I've struggled and sworn and cut my hands/wrists doing it but always managed it.
Anyway the indicator bulb is almost impossible to do using the service hatch in the wheel arch, I managed to undo it but it literally would not back out of the head lamp itself as part of the actual bodywork was in the way. I then tried peeling back the arch but the same problem existed and I don't have hands the size of an action man.
So off with the bumper... it just makes me laugh that something that should genuinely take seconds is so drawn out... but I got there in the end, at least the weather was nice today!
