test failer

[Iann41]

4 year old Micra failed its test.

N/S front and rear position lamps not working.

O/S, N/S front suspention arm rubber bust needs replacing.

question is what is my position lamp?

and how hard is it to replace suspention arm bushes?

many thanks Ian

Replace the whole suspension arm (wishbone), easier unless you have a ball joint splitter and serious muscle to do it at home.
Had mine changed for mot in December cost about £90 fitted (£50 for the arm £40 labour)

Position lamp?
Well if front and rear must be side lights, surely?

You'll need to change a couple of bulbs by the sound of it (pennies, and a few minutes)

The lights that are not on when turned on are ya position lamps.

first of all thanks for the replies

when i got home i was straight on the internet and discovered that the position lamps were indeed 'parking lights'.
thanks andy and jen

the machanic confused me with jibberish.

the parking lights do work, i think he just forgot to take the key out or turn off the ignition the fool.

now i just have to sort the bushes.
