The eternal pain in the bum for Alfisti
Front nearside sidelight. £4 bloody 70 Pence! Skinned knuckles getting the old one out, go to local shop, get replacement, feels a bit iffy fitting in the holder, but this is Sunday, the shop has closed, so I tested it before replacing the holder - worked - more skinned knuckles replacing holder - doesn't work! More skinned knuckles extracting it again - the bloody sodding effing bulb fell out into the dark and dismal recesses of the light unit! -- Rob Pearson 156 1.9jtd sportwagon (now) 164 V6 Lusso (gone) 147 2.0TS lusso (Hers) |

Dropped one into the engine tray and couldn't find it so never got the money back. :-( TonyB |

Headlight bulb went and I changed it in literally 2 minutes - 1 handed, other one holding my phone as a light - all I needed. Couldn't believe it as the 156 was tough going!! |

The facelifted 156 is easy enough, the only problem is that the headlamp bulbs don't have a recess for the metal tang to fit into so they can be fitted at any angle. Spoils the beam pattern if you get it wrong. TonyB |
