2007 - Changing a bulb! - ajsdoc
My sister-in-law has a Honda civic and asked me to change a front indicator bulb. "Not a problem" I say. User manual says access bulb from wheelarch - undo a couple of fixings from the arch liner, pop your hand in and remove bulb....

An hour later, wheel off, many more than 2 fixings removed and brute force to pull back liner I manage to change a simple indicator bulb!!! Maybe I'm missing something or just don't have the small, delicate Japanese hands required! Incredible that cars can have such difficult to replace service items nowadays - it should be outlawed!!

it doesn't seem that unusual these days, i wonder whether designers do this to force us to give the work to the dealers ! but i always was a cynical old sceptic.
