The switch unscrews from the housing
Ahh I see Mocki. I thought it was housed in a housing. I even bought a new gasket to replace it. :? :?

Might sound like a stupid question but if I remove the housing on the gearbox to replace the reverse light switch will any oil etc come flooding out?

Re: Separating ball joint of wiper spindle

I used two pry bars to separate the spindle from the linkage to send to you, it's just a moulded plastic insert the ball fits in but the linkage will bend easily at the end as it is just flat metal and not very thick, a small ball joint separating fork might work if you can get it in but I didn't h...

Separating ball joint of wiper spindle

Morning all.

Re: Air deflector cards behind upper grille

Thank you all.

Still not sure what they’re called though. Haha.
I didn’t realise they were meant to be attached to the back of the grille.
I’ll have to see if they can be purchased separately to the grille.
Cheers
