the bulb in my left foglamp is out, and i have never had to change one of these before and it doesnt look as simple as lifting the bonnet and popping it in our out, do i have to take off the front bar or the bulb surroundings somehow or jack the car up and do it from underneath,

how do you change these little buggers!

you need to get in behind the front bar (where the fog light assemblies are) and undo the cap on the back of it (much like the headlight)...if you can get it on a hoist it'll be pretty easy to get in behind it, but I did it on the ground....just a bit harder to get your head in and under to see what you're doing etc....jacking it up will help obviously

two 10mm bolts at the back of the assembly, unplug the foglight/indicator connector

and press down on the clip at the back to take the assembly off

much easier fitting a bulb afterwards

I will do this, sounds like a smart idea

Anyone know the bulb # so I can get one before taking the assembly out?

Thanks

      R32 only blows hot air

      Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)

      Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.

      Wires cut underneath shifter cover

      You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple

      Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit.

      R32 only blows hot air

      Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
