You would think so, but have you tried changing a simple headlight bulb on a modern car recently? On mine you have to remove the entire lighting unit from the car to do it!
It’s a 2012 Ford Galaxy. You have to remove three torx screws, one of which is pretty hard to get at. It would be a struggle at the roadside in the dark.
Wait until your fancy new LED headlight fails.. Seriously un funny.. 1000 quid on a volvo
Land rover of course cost twice as much..
There covered on my kia warranty for 7 yrs as its bumper to bumper, but its a ticking time bomb for used car buyers.
3-5k car in 5-8 yrs wont pass mot due to a impossibly high cost of a headlamp and will end up as scrap.
Or a thieves dream supplying to order of ebay ect.. Crime will pay
Food for thought
Wasn't the Galaxy a collaboration with other manufacturers?
No moving parts?In all seriousness, is it hard to change the battery, i would have thought it would be easy, no moving parts, just lift in and out?
Indeed, and first generation Leaf's (Leaves?) are suffering suffereng from seriously curtailed range as they age. It's not at all uncommon to find older models from 2012 or 2013 with barely 50 miles usable range without headlamps and heater in use. Indeed, last series of Top Gear they bought a leaf for one of their challenges and were aghast that theirs was also like this.No moving parts?
Batteries on electric cars have complex cooling systems that will have to be disconnected. Nissan Leaf is air cooled and Teslas are water cooled, but they've both had problems with overheating, BMW and Jaguar use refrigeration systems.
There has been an EU regulation in force for many years now which says a car headlight bulb must be changeable at the roadside fairly simply.
In my Vauxhall, the lamp unit is held in by a single chunky cross head screw on the latch panel.
To be in compliance, Vauxhall supply a cheapo screwdriver with the tool kit.
Some Renaults needed removal of the front bumper and valence to change a bulb, although a dealer local to me had a mechanic who could do the job without.
I can't recall exactly when the Euro rule was brought in, so I'm curious to know how old your car is.
