Hi All,

My other half has a Tekna QQ+2 - 2012 with headlamp washers fitted... one of which has now been broken off by me.. after it was failing to retract!
My local garage has advised this will need fixing to pass it's MOT.

First query - is there anywhere to source the parts other than main dealer - initial quote is £84 a piece + fitting charges (ends up being £417 all in to replace the pair, may as well do both if stripping down?)

Secondly - can you replace these things without full bumper removal?


Thanks for any help you can give.

Matt
