[gazterrano]

i recently walked to my local garage end of our st to pick up a headlight bulb for my terrano & while i was there there was a renault also having a headlight bulb fitted they was removing the front bumper just to get to it :doh the guy at the garage said you have to remove half the front end on these , the model MODUS fitted price £160:doh:doh i thought i was hearing things but good old french cars never fail to amaze me :bow i used to be in the motor trade & remember back then they often complicate things by using left hand threads & needed numerous main dealer tools just to do simple services ill stick with my terrano oh & my headlamp bulb a fiver:lol:lol

Makes my Scenic a real bargain then mate. Official Renault method.

NS Headlight, remove front wheel. remove wheel arch liner. remove inspection panel. Remove bulb.

Or if you are clever and don't mind grazed knuckles. Squeeze hand down behind head light and remove bulb, then pull wires very tight and you can just do it.

I've seen a workshop download showing the air filter replacement. Including bonnet removal and lots more. The bloke started in the daylight and got to the filter in the dark.

I hope he had all bulbs replaced at the same time.....:doh

If a fog lamp bulb goes on the Picasso it is quite a job, either bumper off or maybe you can get to it from the wheel arch...... Not an issue yet. :doh
