Xsara headlamps - Tynesider
I am going to Scandinavia soon where I will have to use headlamps all day, and I do not want to be stuck without knowing how to chanbge a Xsara 2 lamp. Looking at the Citroen Xsara 2 Complex headlamps it appears that bulbs are changed by removing one of two caps on the back of the lamp unit. (The handbook shows which lamp is which, but not how to get to them).There appears to be little space to get to the back of the lamp unit especially on the diesel where part of the fuel gear is close to the back of the lamp. Has anyone experience of changing the lamps? Can the whole unit be released just by undoing the torx screw behind the top of the unit?

No experience of Xsara I'm afraid but on my old XMs there was no option but to squeeze your hand in at a ridiculous angle to remove the cap/holder.

I certainly wouldn't mess any other screws.

I hope your headlamps don't prove too much of a struggle, Tynesider.
In case, like most of us, you are also finding Windows 2000 a bit baffling, here is a link to information on the special Tyneside edition. ;-)
