Hi all
Thanks for your help about my bumper removal question,sadly the bumper got sold before i could get it

.
So for time being i thought i would try and change my broken drivers side fog light, but how do you get it off ??? i can do the bottom bracket easy but surely you dont need to take the bumper off ????

I would try removing it after removing headlight and corner indicator.

Check from ebay with search words "Xantia fog light".
There are some MK2 fog light pics and you can see the fixing points.
One on the lower part and others on top. It's like a tripod structure.

I did the passenger side without removing the bumper.

From what I remember I just un bolted it then manoeuvred it out.

Seem to remember the drivers side being somewhat tighter though and thinking I was glad it wasn't that side.

I took the headlight out on the driverside and you still cant see it ! passengers side looks much easier.

Sorry to tell you but yes, the bumper will have to come off to replace the right hand side.

Not realy a problem though, it comes of realy easy, if you have a haynes book, this explains it in easy steps. I would say about 20mins to remove, the only problem maybe rusted bolts.

Regards
Martin.

Paul have you an S2 fuel gauge?

Imperial, you may get slightly better access with the washer bottle removed, and inner wheel arch..

Fuel guage in the Dash??

I would be looking at that if you have a faulty one...!

If you remove the clocks from the dash, open them up, and behind the speedo is a small piggy back cuircuit board.... THIS controls the guage and coverts the signal from the tank to the dial... These do play up, and I know this from experiance...
