Do the rear passenger lights just pop off as i have the bulbs to do mine but thought I was about to break them!!!

It's hard to explain and a mega pain to do. You have to pull one side of the light surrounding out from the roof lining and the little bulbs screw off from the back of the unit, I used a mini flat head to get to it. When I pushed the light back in it didn't sit properly, this is because I bent the metal surround, just bend it back and it's fine.

Following advice from andycupra and LEE69, my LCR had a new thermostat fitted yesterday.

Consequently, MPG on local roads has improved from 23 to 32, which is approx an extra 108 miles from a tankful. :)

You will have to let us know how you get on, I here'd that when shot blasting them it can reveal a lot of pitting because the LCR alloy is a mix of materials and not all alloy?
