No wonder car services are getting more expensive!

Haha, delving into the google image vaults

 

I once had to replace a headlight bulb (not in Gothilda), and I just stopped at a motorway service station, bought a new bulb there, and thought'd I'd fit it while I was having a smoke. I was there for an hour. I had to take the battery out, and the battery cradle, then I could just to say, with lots of jiggling and fingers bending the wrong way, get the new bulb in.

@Sheal, Gothilda is easy for most things, but even she has some pointlessly difficult bits. To change the pollen filter, if I can ever be bothered, I'm going to have to take windscreen wiper arms off, then unbolt a whole body panel, then wedge the bonnet in a half open, half shut position, jiggle the body panel out, which has a clearance of less than a millimetre if you don't want to bend it and/or wipe out the windscreen, change the pollen filter, which by this time is accessible if you have double wrists so you can sort of get your hands in round corners. Refit is the reverse of removal, except for the addition of about half a tub of vaseline to help the body panel slide back into place.

 

That is tight

 

No, not Google, they were at my house

 

Leaves seem to get everywhere!!

 

That's an easy one!

Gawd - that was a sorry experience in my case. Bought one at auction to make a few quid and ended up breaking it and selling the bits. Actually, I did make a profit on it!

Tight! You gotta be kidding! Try changing the turbo on a modern Discovery - the body has to be removed from the chassis to do it!

Now that's getting tighter

Worse still are the wet leaves that block the scuttle drain on some Audis causing the brake servo to rot!

 

@longk erm, not if you're a ham-fisted mechanic; good on ya; :lol: ; ; oh dear!
you were very thorough there
