hatchback brake light not working, wiring ok. cannot replace lcd lighting strip. vw main dealer will sell me complete brake light
for £47 but suprise suprise will not fit it. it has to be a body shop 12 miles away.,seemingly the top of the spoiler has to be removed.
a bill well over £100 pound , am i fed up . i feel that something is not right here. does anybody have information to the contrary. :
