I know I'm a great one for asking idiot questions on here, afraid I've got another one  How do I get at the bulb in the rear fog light on my 2011 +4? It's mounted inside a valance and I cannot feel/see ANY screws etc., despite what the manual says!

It couldn't have been that silly a question as no one has answered it 2 hours

- might be a long shot Mike but on my Aero8, the foglight bulb is accessed from the rear (Oer Missus!).
All the other lamps have two screws at the front but this one has a large screw cap (almost like a jam jar lid) at the back of the lamp.Getting to it necessitates taking the boot box out- or it can be managed by bending the side back and slicing your hand to pieces!
I know the +4 is a different animal (i.e. no boot !) but it may be a similar (Morgan) set up....?

Hi JBW,
Strangely my 2002 rear light cover has the 2 screws similar to all the rear lights and indicators - however getting the bottom screw off is a nightmare (m3 x 30mm bolts just to know if you destroy them!!)

On my 2002 Plus8 the rear fog lens simply screws off like a jamjar lid.
There are 2 dummy screw holes with inserts to seal them, making them look similar to the front and rear brake/indicator lenses that have the 2 fixing screws.
No idea why there is a difference but it is easier to remove/refit the foglight lens, no fiddly screws with top hat receivers!
I have smeared the lens thread with some vaseline to help seal it and prevent moisture getting in.

Look inside the spare wheel hole and all will be revealed.
