[stuart bowes]

had a brake light fail

so needless to say, I cut my hand open, slightly broke the trim, dropped the lamp holder down into the cavity, removed a bit more trim, recovered it, replaced lamp in holder, cut my hand again in two new places, got it back in with a final cry of pain, and it still didn't work

so obviously that means I need to spend £40 on a small piece of plastic to make that work again, good old volvo

I have to say despite the many many good things about these cars, whoever designed the lamp holders and the access via trim etc needs to be taken outside, publicly flogged and paraded down the street naked while someone rings a bell and shouts SHAME, SHAME

end of rant
