Hi
Girlie's AX has somehow passed another MOT. The garage have managed to dislodge the drivers side headlamp though! Not totally their fault. It was held in with a jubilee clip (don't ask!) and some raw hope! (A bodge by a garage we won't be using again!)
The garage have said they will order in a new headlamp but I reckon the plastic lug has snapped off the front panel. I assume a new headlamp won't come with this plastic lug? I'm not sure how much AX headlamps are but it sounds like wasted money if that isn't the problem. Views anyone?
Enlightened AX

Visit your nearest scrapper. Suspect a couple of other Cit/Pug models use the same bits.
BTW : tried the same back in '81 with my Simca. Workshop should replace left front wing (insurance damage). They replaced the headlamp housing - but forgot the plastic clips to hold the headlamp unit. They used scotch to keep the unit in place - until one day the headlamp unit suddenly popped out dangling in the wires [:D][:D]
One-off workshops we call them - you never come back [}:)]
