paging Nigel eaton.....

Want to make a guesstimate of the cost of a rear light cluter for the
ovloV? Other side this time - courtesy of the dozy tart next door to my
Mum's, who just reveresed into it without looking.......

<sigh>

Fucknose. I'd be off to the scrappy if I was paying, but I suspect the
Schwedes want an arm and a leg.

Mined ewe, check with Pip. I think the wiring was a little "odd" in
there, so this might be the chance to get that replaced as well,
IYSWIM...

Well, it's only a tiny little tank, hardly noticeable at all, really.

Indeed.

Looks like it's about £30-£35 for one from GSFcarparts.

That's if it's a 740, as I recall it is.

It's not. 940 estate.

you need another 200 on that mate.

 

35 quid, then.

 

Oh yes. and as always in these situations, I'll presume I'm paying until
she's actually coughed up iyswim.

Paging Pip...

SMIDSY innit - reversed straight back across to the other side of the
road - to be fair this was the first time I've not lobbed it 2 wheels on
the pavement - but then I shouldn't have to....

 

What's wrong with a few Quailty street wrappers and some glue?

 

I probably still would. It was an accident, a 'neighbour', not exactly a
new car, etc. etc.

Saab new parts weren't that bad. About the same if not cheaper compared
against the other European manufacturers.

 

Try German & Swedish, near Kingston. And try Ebay - that's where we got
a new rear light for The Doctor's Micra.

PS - it wasn't The Doctor. She was here.

 

Some were. When mine needed new discs they were only ukp35 each or
something. When The Doctor's needed a new headlamp (silvering had gone
and it failed an MoT) it was about 300 sovs for a new one or 20 quid
from somebody breaking one a few miles away.

 

If it is the N/S then the wiring is dodgy, indeed. Iy won't be sorted
by replacing the light cluster though - the problem is the three or
four relay boxes and the dozen-plus scotchloks lurking in that area.

The intermittent indicator problem was due to the n/s bulbholder not
locating very well -a quick twist sorted that.

I'd get a new one from your local branch of German Swedish and French:
https://secure.gsfcarparts.com/shop/results.asp

There are a couple of 10mm nuts retaining the unit, accessed by
popping the panel in the boot behind the light.
Wind the nuts off (they're not tight) and ease the light out - twist
and remove the bulb holders, offer up the new unit and replacement is
the reverse of removal.

POP, 10 minutes tops.

 

For some reason I cannot ever remeber which is NS/OS, near to what FFS?
Anyway, it's the passenger side

Yers I remember you mentioning those whilst a shiver tingled it's way
down my spine.

Handy stuff - ta.

Watch me **** it up anyway
Actually, that's not strictly likely - I sorted the fan belt okay. For
now. Must get a new one in ready for the inevitable.

Thanks muchly,

Ah, you never mentioned that bit.

 

Near side is the passengers side, (nearest to the kerb.)

 

Right when you're sitting driving or right when you are looking towards
the car from the front?

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Doesnotcompute

The pedestrian you just ran over on the pavement.

It's common to do so, but then you get the fuckwits who insist that
'left' means looking at the vehicle from the front and 'left' would be
the driver's side. Gah.

Obviously, but I was trying for the clever retort *1

Dunno, mystique?

*1 failed.
