Can anyone advise me on how to change the side light bulbs on my scooby? It's a 1995 model!

Much appreciated

Dave

Dave,

Before resorting to the screwdriver. Try this :

1/ undo the posidrive screw
2/ grip the plastic piece the screw was in
3/ place the butt of your other hand on the side of the side light close to the front corner about 3/4 of the way down & apply light pressure.
4/ Quickley pull on the plastic bracket and light casing with a forward motion at the same time and it should pop out.
(theres a small pop ball joint & clip holds the bugger in)

If that fails screwdriver it (but its worked on them all 4 me up2 now)

Pete
