I popped down the local petrol station and got a replacement. Lifted the bonnet to take out the old one and pop in the replacement (as I had always done in the past). Couldn't see where the rear of the light fitting was so thought I'd take it home and do it, if any tools should be required I'd have them there. Spent an hour or so trying to reach from all directions, to no avail! OK I'll take it to the local garage. They took a look, scratched their heads and said "no".I know the handbook said to take it to the main Renault dealer but surely not just to change a bulb, for goodness sake! I tried a couple more garages (not petrol stations) before giving up and contacting Renault service dept. "No problem, just drop it in tomorrow", they said. I enquired how much it would cost. - £49.99.Fifty quid to change a light bulb! Seems they did have to take a lot of the front off to get at it.Ever since then I wondered about this oft quoted requirement to carry spare bulbs.Wyn</blockquote>
