Default Help Please, bug foglamp cover

As above, have got a cold air feed to fit, the screw holding the cover on has been rounded off

What does the screw go into, is it metal or plastic? ie. will i be ok drilling the thing out?

Help please.

Is it down on the bottom left (of the drivers side as you look at it ?)...... ?

If so then it's a metal bracket. I'll post a pic later.

IIRC there should be a small screw into a small metal bracket behind the fog cover. If it's kosher there are 3 tabs holding it in as well, two at the top and another at the bottom opposite the screw. Mine (slightly different) need some encouragement to come off with a flat bladed screwdriver in cloth or an allen key hooked into the screw hole

Do you know the trick with the hose to feed it through ?

Not really a trick.......to feed the hose through from the foglight drop a weighted bit of string through the hole in the inner wing, stick hand and arm through the foglight hole , grab string, tie to the hose and pull through into the engine bay.

Saves having to take the arch liner off or poke the hose through.

PM's sometimes hang when I post them one here with a little circle thing going round and around, I guess it's something to do with my broadband which often crawls at diallup speed.......living in the sticks PM's I can pick up from work better

Copy it to me on shaunwhitehead@aol.com as well if possible... AOL is the slightly less flakey of the two at home LOL.

Cheers
