--- Quote from: "richo" ---Its not just lamps [or blubs] i have found hard on the 110 .
I find that if i take some thing off to fix etc it's best to use the landrovers friend copper ease before you put it back together.
Then next time it needs to come off it might be a bit easyer

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Never ever ever ever EVER use that stuff near electricals!
Seriously, dont, you'd be better off using salty water saftey wise.
Electrolube do some stuff just for that and white lithuim based grease will work eaqually well.
I might have got the wrong end of the stick here though, if so ignore me :)

Simple gude to replacing Defender headlamp bulb/lamp/magic glowing thing.
Remove Sidelight and Indicator (50% chance that they will need replacing with new units anyway)
Remove plastic headlamp surround.
Go back indoors and get cordless drill.
Drill out at least 1 of the blobs of rust that are laughably described as screws, watching large lumps of rust falling off the remains of the bowl.
Replace magic glowing thing.
Reassemble with whatever "screws" that are still moderately usable and pray that it will all hold together until new parts can be obtained.
Plan trip to parts supplier to get new set of headlamp bowls.
Guess what I've been doing this afternoon. :lol:

*weeps uncontrollably*
I had certain expectations and hopes of owning a green oval.
Each time I look at the electrical system I find myself looking for my blowlamp and a bottle of meths.

Land Rover ownership go's 2 ways
1. You learn lots about cars and you execpt that it really was designed in a pub, built in a shed by the factory
2. You break down as a person, kick the car repeatedly, sell it, then buy something Japanese
