take all the obvious bolts off, then there is a bracket right under the parker that is bolted to the chassis by one hex bolt. the bracket is secured to the headlight assembly by two phillips screws but i wouldnt advise undoing then as you will probably snap the plastic location pin so just leave it attached to the housing when taking out.

someone should do a sticky on this subject, as well as parker bulb replacement..lol

ah just re read your post. indicator clips in so take the plastic guards out from the wheel arch and pop it out from behind by squeezing the clips unitl it pops out. i dont remember any screws from memory, though there might be one, but i doubt it.

I just changed the indicators myself, you wont need to take the inner guard lining off. Using your finger tips, pull the indicator towards the front of the car. It will move a few millimeters, then pull it out towards you. It will pop out. Seriously, it only takes a few seconds to do. I was surprised myself.

As for the headlights, i've been searching for a good tute on how to remove them. I've heard that you need to remove the front bar to get to a bolt, but im yet to see pics.

you dont need to take the front bar off for the headlight. just like the indicator you can access that bracket bolt i was talking about by removing or bending the plastic wheel guards and taking to it with a wrench. its that one bolt underneith the parker that holds it to the chassis

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
