Why did they have to make the 1.4 16v engines so friggin compact??? took me half an hour jus now tryin to change the light bulb on the drivers side 
They give u room for a baby sized hand to work easily thru it but for me i almost had to chopmy hand in half to get to the friggin thing.

Rear clusters -- I did it originally with a spanner - OW!
Took about 5 minutes for second set with a ratchet set and an extension piece

Rear lights are piss with a small socket set which used, only took 5 mins. What was really hard is when u accidently pull out ur connection for ur window water spray. Lee Mitchell accidently pulled mine out taking my headlight off. took me years to plug that damm connection back in. In the end i think i cut it in
