C5 problems - can you help?

I have a Citroen C5 Tourer that is blowing a headlight bulb every two weeks. Also, I find the car extremely uncomfortable with a lack of under thigh support on the right side.

Suspect headlight earthing fault. You may be able to insert some washers between the front seat mounting and the floor to raise the front of the seat squab. Alternatively pushing the seat back an extra notch can help reduce the angle of your leg.
