You will be aware that changing the low beam and indicator bulbs on the MK3 is a pain, you need to remove the plastic inner front mudgaurd sections to access the bulb containers, for ease of access, jacking up the car and removing the wheel is also a must. However, I have discovered that on the drivers side only, you can undo the 2 nuts holding the windscreen washer bottle, lift it up slightly and tip it towards the engine this give you plenty of access to remove the bulbs with out all the hassle! (Note: make sure the windscreen bottle is not full to the brim or you will have fluild dripping out)
Hope this saves a few hours work! Glyn Davis
