Why I dont like working on Peugeots

Let's look at an "easy" job then, removing the headlights...

I changed my headlights over the other day in under 10 minutes, not massively rushing.

The other month, my mum asked me to re-seal the headlights on her MGTF as they were steaming up. It took no less than 4 1/2 hours to remove the headlights due to having to take off the whole front bumper, all of the fastenings for which were reduced to small spherical blobs of rust.

My girlfriend's mum had issues with her main beam on her Proton Savvy, so I offered to change the bulbs and have a look at the wiring. I ended up removing the front bumper, which wasn't too bad, but what a PITA, only wanted to remove a sodding headlight!

My girlfriends Fiat Seicento was similar to the MG. Ok, I wasn't trying to remove the lights, but remove the bumper (which you'd have to do to take the lights out) Everything that could have been was rusted, ended up breaking the mounting tabs on one part of the bumper and not bothering to replace them..

You get the idea...
