Sodding Sods - light cluster broked

Pickers · 20-01-2010, 18:45

Got home from work tonight, having noticed the driver side headlamp wasnt working. Expecting to just have to change the bulb, I wondered around the front and saw this:-

I am right in thinking I cannot "responsibly" drive this now? Its looking like £150 to get the damn thing replaced - and I want to get rid of this car and get a new one... Sods law

Its a Nissan Micra, V reg btw...

£25 sounds like a pretty good deal. Buy, buy, buy!

I dunno what it'll be like to fit, it was a bitch of a job on my old Golf - the front bumper needed to come off. It took hours!

I cant remember any of my ebay details... nor my paypal details.. not used them in about 5 years :/
Cant seem to get them sent to my e-mail address either. bum.

Why don't you go to a local scrapyard and see if they have one? Then you can try and fit it or find a garage that will fit it for you, which will be cheaper than buying it new

I think I may try and get this one sent... and get a local garage to fit it..

if you're stuck and can BT the cash over, we can get it for you?

Another offer for ebay log in details here, feel free to use my account and ask them to post it to you if you want

Pickers · 20-01-2010, 19:21

Thanks guys - just set up a new account. Will call that scrapyard tomorrow and see if they still have a usable one.
Right, now I'm behind on my plans for this evening... Grrrr.

Ordered the part - expect a thread on fitting a nissan micra headlamp unit next week - all being well

Now, I'm kinda stranded in Exeter until I can get this fixed
