Do you mean the actual connector which pushes into the headlight bulb?

common fault on micras they get a bad connection overheat and melt !
botch is to use spade terminals but to do it properly you need to replace part of the loom

Thanks johncon,
Yes turnip we think so, someone who had a look for us (not a mechanic) said we need it replacing.....know nothing about cars !!
Are we best just taking it to a garage ?

50 quid! Are you crazy? It's a fairly quick job if it's what I think you mean.

We still need to make a living I charge £35per hour
By the time I buy the part then add fuel to come to you I thought it was s fair price for a professional service

£35 per hour without having to pay rent, elecy, water rates, insurance etc isn't to be sniffed at!!
Posted By: s7uajones Re: Headlight connector - 21st Oct 2013 8:37pm
You don't understand I pay all those things it was just a quote inclusive of VAT
Oh yes and I pay that as well
What else have you to say on the subject mr hanky
