Very useful video, thanks a lot. If anyone is reading this and unsure if they should do it themselves, I’ve never touched anything under the bonnet in my life and managed to do this whole thing in 5 minutes with just a socket set, definitely do it yourself!

Where would we be without KZbin. Personally I would still be scratching my head trying to work out how to get my hand into a space half it's size. Great vid

Great video. My 2010 Corsa meant I had to take the main cover over the spark plugs etc. This pops off (then when putting it back you need to line up the 4 posts into the grommets. I got my hand under to feel the nearest posts. Also the bottom air pipe, I had to disconnect. It comes sideways in from the front of the air box, and is just a push fit. I also didn’t need to disconnect the electric plug, since it had enough slack to move the upper air pipe out of the way, that I pinned back with a screwdriver in a hole. Also I nearly ended up taking the whole headlight mirror out, because I pulled, then twisted the large electrical connect behind the headlight, thinking it was connected to the bulb. It wasn’t this…the bulb itself was next to this, recessed well back. I also had to wiggle other electric cables over the new bulb to get it in place. Mine is a diesel Corsa 1.2.

Top tip for getting the lamp out.... Which is a real bugger.... I used a 1.5mm allen key, slipped the short end into the hole of one of the electrical 'legs' then easily pulled it out. My big hands and big fingers didn't have enough room to grip / get purchase otherwise.
