General Changing Grande Punto Reverse Bulb

be prepared to get cold and wet

its easier to jack the car up at the back left jacking poing (axle stand and chock the wheels it too safety first)

although it can be done without rasing teh car

feel the back of the lamp there is a circular cap with a flat on it so you can grip it make a mental note of how it sits

turn it about 1/4 of a turn then pull it

change the bulb

put a smear of grease on the o-ring to make refitting it easier
 
THanks Andy....do you have to take the inner wing off inside the rear nearside wheel to get access ? I've now got it up on an axle stand, and the real valance and exhause make it a very tight squeeze & i can't even feel the round fitting :-(

no shouldn't have to have a look at the fog light so you know what your feeling for (y)

if you can see the fixing bolt undo it and remove the whole unit

just hope after all this it is the bulb and not the reverse light switch ;)
 
(y) Thats the best advice ever,:worship: had visions of having to jack up,take wheel off and mess about with those big panels.:bang:
Or a trip to the garage and pay silly money to change a bulb.(n)

Just lay on my side and got my hand in the gap between exhaust box and bumper, felt along for the bulbholder and got the job done in 5mins.
