one broken rear light

Just a quick note (and maybe a cautionary tale). My next door neighbour told me that my brake light was out yesterday. So this morning I popped down to my local seat garage to see if they would slot me a bulb in (I couldn't see any internal panel for access so was at a loss how to do it, otherwise I would have been down my local parts shop for a bulb). I was told that it was 42p for the bulb. Or £11 to fit it! When I picked my chin up off the floor I said I would just take the bulb. The service manager then went on to say it was a complete sod to fix and that you needed to remove the light with a wedge! With all this in my mind (and my current run of luck being non existent) I decided to let them fit it. After 10 minutes the mechanic called the manager to say he had smashed the rear light getting it out. (They said it happens alot) So the upshot is they now have to replace the light. So if anyone is going to change a bulb be careful or get the seat guys to mess it up, er I mean fit it.

They can be a bitch to get out the first time, but it gets easier after that. You just need to smack it at the right angle with the correct amount of force.
