Loose Headlamps

Recommended Posts

RAF_gti

My car failed the MoT today for having loose headlamps, both of them have play in the vertical, by perhaps about 2mm or so. As far as Ican see everything is as it should be. Is it a 205 trait or something which is actually wrong?

check the pins on either side that holds the light in place they might not be secure, it'll be the pins or the recess that the light sits into might be broken most likelly be broken on the indicator part, its an easy fix.

It looks like it is cause by a worn spring on the N/S, a new one should be arriving tomorrow so that should hopefully fix it.
