First "problem" with Jazz
« on: February 06, 2015, 08:12:10 PM »
139k miles, three and a half years of ownership and the Jazz has had its first "problem". A sidelight bulb has blown, and my fat fingers can't reach it to get the bulb out, so down to Honda on Monday.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Isn't changing a bulb a perfect add on lesson for one of your clients?

Are you sure it's blown?

This happened to my mother's Jazz....I gave the headlight a firm thump...and the sidelight bulb came back on!!  ;D

I thought I would see if the Halfords oik could change the bulb, but evidently he didn't get up early this morning, so I popped into an mot garage and asked there if they could do it. 2 minutes and £5 later job done.

This also happened to me. 80k in ten years obviously takes it toll. Or there may be a batch of bad bulbs. Be careful people.  :D
One of my sidelights was out the other morning, while defrosting, i noticed. Thump duly administered. Came back on. Would have been miffed if it hadn't.

Maybe I should email Honda, maybe they should issue a recall notice for these sub-standard bulbs.  ;D ;D ;D

Changing headlight and sidelight bulbs on GE where they are accessible from under the bonnet is so much easier than GD where the only way was to take off wheel and the wheel arch under-guarding plastic.  As I did a lot of miles in my GD (most of them at each end of day, so in winter all in the dark) I used to change headlight bulbs in the summer every 12 months on a nice warm summer day, only changed a bulb in the winter once and nearly froze to death lying on the wet ground - and no good wearing gloves as it is bad enough to feel what you  are doing with bare fingers.

@ Ozzie - I'm sure Honda will contribute to the cost of replacing the bulb.

Are they really Culzean, access looks a bit tight?
I've got fingers like pigs tits so I'm not sure I could get in there !!

Definitely -  I changed the sidelight bulbs to LED's and headlight bulbs to Phillips Xtreme Bright  on my wifes GE as soon as she got it - both from under the bonnet - the only thing you can't get to is the indicators - but  as those bulbs rarely if ever fail,  no hardship really.

I have also changed both headlights and sidelights without too much trouble even with my sausage fingers. Just hope the indicators keep going.
