hey denny, i managed to change my drivers side parker without removing anything. i just jammed my hand into the small space you have to work with (hand got a little bit grazed) and fiddled around until i could undo the plug. my hands are fairly big so you should be able to manage it mate :rofl:

hehe good idea mooks, i'll get the missus to do it. thanks for info guys. the passenger side is easy, theres plenty of room where the pod is. but the drivers side is very tight, got the coolant and all the other crap there.

will try use tweezers or something.

cheers

I had the opposite problem. My drivers side headlight blew so i thought I'd change em both. The drivers side was a piece of piss but on the passengers side I had to remove both of the pods. It was a c*** of a job. Mainly because I'm all thumbs when it comes to fiddly things.

ok guys, i've taken another look, i still can not even get close to fitting a hand there. also we're talking about the "PARKER" light, as in the little one. not the headlight, the headlight is simple. i've uploaded some pics, unless my car is different i don't see how u can fit ur hand there.

cheers

** damn, can't upload pics again. **

denny ya mofo.....the drivers side is the easiest one of the two to get out ya fool. all u do is stick ur fingers in the HOLE PROVIDED and quarter turn to the left. lefty loosy righty tighty:D:D if u still cant do it and dont mind drivin down to springy ill do it for ya. oh and tweesers wont work either.

you dont need to take the headlight out....thats just overkill:D:D

unbelievable, my whole drivers side lights are all gone. its not the globes either coz i replaced the headlight and it still doesn't turn on. the parker light, headlight, high beam is all out on my car. can't be a fuse else both sides would be out. plus i fiddled around with the fuses too and it didn't make any difference. now has anyone got any ideas as to which wire maybe loose or something? where its located?

thanks.

  • 2 weeks later...

ok fella's, all front lights are now working again :D except for the parker one which has a blown globe. headlamp and highbeam is back, if this ever happens to anyone else, try changing the fuse located in the boot. its a 20A fuse.

forgot about the fuses at the back, i played around with all the ones at the front and it didn't help.

cheers

Well I attempted this mission on the weekend, as well as radiator flush and coolant change, front strut brace innergaurd removal on drivers side due to being broken and flapping around...

Now the hardest part of the whole damn thing was the grill removal that took 20 minutes for me to work out how the fudge to remove it WITHOUT breaking it...

As I was cleaning the overflow tank for the radiator which required the removal of the washer reserviour and the movement of the power box thing out the way I decided to remove the headlight as well, piece of cake...no need for a jack either to remove innergaurd, now I can confirm that you can take apart most nissans with a 10mm spanner and socket, and a couple of screwdrivers...

Also I checked the bulb holder had a pile of crap around it and would not turn easily despite my vain attempts while still installed.

So now all nice clean coolant and a parker bulb that works!!!

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
