Hi,

I have been having various water leak problems and have located the source to be the rear light cluster. I have removed all the trim panels from around the boot but I can't figure out how to remove the rear light clusters themselves!

I have removed the three visible nuts, and also the middle bit of plastic trim over the boot lock. Then I got stuck! The plastic is very brittle and has been broken by the previous owner (and a bit by me) so I am very wary of smashing the whole lot to bits!

Thanks.

from my experience with the 440, you take out the cluster with the bulbs, then unscrew the bolts and it is free to pop straight out - Its rarely this easy though, the rubbers usually harden and stick to the bodywork and lenses, so usually need working round carefully with a blunt blade or knife, before it will pop off.
