    Hiya guise, any electricians on here? Or even people with a but of know how? The bulb doesn't stay in even when I tighten the wee screws, is it missing a bit?

    Don't think so mate, the 2 wee thingys that go in look the same size as the the ones on the bulb that was ****ed. I might just change the fitting bit, that can't be too difficult? I thought usually they just pushed in but tye bulb before had to be tightened.

    Looks a hazard to me, must be Spanish crap.

    Pop to your local electrical shop and replace the connector

    My fee is 20p+ vat at 600% or you can just call toby a twat and its on the house

    also try and take a photo in focus

    Like above post, connector probably banjaxed, get new connector (few euro), cover for light holds bulb, no screws. I had similar problem, changed bulb and work for a while then it would go, was the connector in the end, hth.

    The bulb might be held in with a retainer clip.
