Brigante Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Can someone please tell me how to do this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 2 screws from underneath to loosen, there are holes to get screwdriver in to unscrew them, then a thin metal ruler or simular inserted at top between fog lamp surround and bumper, that releases fog lamp, may need to unplug fog lamp from underneath if lamp assy wont come out far enough to unplug .

Brigante Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 so there are holes in the engine undertray to to access the screws? what screwderiver does it require? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Cant remember the screw type, either philips or torqs, been 12 months since done last one, forgot to say but theres 2 clips you need to fight with using ruler or the like, if your changing the lamp you will see where they are on new lamp, changing bulb though doesnt require removal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 i just want to change the bulbs i went to change them the way i would on the focus, removing the headlights and simply reaching down but when i went to do this on the mondeo i discovered that the washer bottle was in the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 If all your doingbis changing bulbs thennj6st remove the front plastic iunder trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 how do i remove that exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Think its 4 8mm headed screws on either side and a couple of clips in the middle of front under trim, stick your head underneath front bumper and you should see them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 you mean i actually need to remove the under engine cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 No, Not the one that hides the engine and gearbox, the one further forward that hides the bottom of radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 would it not be easier to remove the whole fog surrounds rather then remove the big cover underneath? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 That trim takes all of 2 mins to remove, up to you which way you do it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 can i do it without getting on my back with my head under the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 if you need the guidance mate, I can try dig out my Haynes manual and send you an "interpretation" of it (as we dont do copyright breach and all :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 That would be helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 would you be able to take any photos of the actual screws in question on your own car that need loosening? been looking for ages and cant fathom where there are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I would love to help mate but with my back as it is I'm finding it impossible to do basic things, so getting under the car is almost impossible. If I was in a better state I would certainly give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 No worries. Would anyone else be able to take a clear photo for me? I have found 2 8mm bolts either side that are directly under each fog housing?, but for how short they are i think they are just for the under tray as theres a fair distance between the tray n the fog housing I think ive heard there should be 2 holes in the undetray to thread up a tool to the screws but i can only feel 1 n ive aimed the video recorder up there to see what i can see and just looks like a mess of wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Did you sort out getting the fog lights out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 after a faff i managed to change the driverside bulb but gave up on trying to do the passenger as its way to fiddly trying to thread a ratchet extension bar up the hole to feel for the screw when i finally get a dry day i'm gonna park on a high kerb and stick my head underneath so i can actually see what i'm doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohboy78 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 When I changed my dogs I took the under trays off. A lot easier than trying to faff on through the pre-cut holes.

I did it with the front end hanging off a kurb with the wheels on pavement. But you will have to get on your back.
