Hmm. So a kamikaze pigeon apparently decided to shuffle off its mortal coil by throwing itself directly into the car's headlamp. Surprisingly, the lights still work although still surrounded by feathers! It is, of course, far too much to hope that I could just buy a new lense (as I was able to do on the old Cavalier - £5 from main dealers and a 5 minute job to replace) so it looks like a whole new headlamp assembly will be needed at a cost of £ouch.

Replacing the bulbs in this car is a nightmare - I know that the unit can be moved forward by removing two retaining bolts at the top but there's another contact point somewhere underneath which I've never needed to tackle. Has anyone successfully removed a whole headlamp assembly before and, if so, is it possible to do so without disassembling the whole of the front of the car?

Thanks in advance.
