Just had some foamy therapy cleaning up the CBF and Shadows bike.

Also had a close look at what needs to be done cosmetically after Shadows damage and storm Goretti’s damage to it.     Not to bad really few bits and bobs to be paired and some paint correction (polishing) on the tank.    A few days in the healing shed will get most of it done.

Well, after dealing w/ a plugged up sewer pipe running through my yard....that the neighbor is also attached to...for a month now...finally got it fixed yesterday. 6ft. of pipe was completely plugged w/ tree roots that was on the hillside of the front yard. Had a plumbing outfit come out w/ an excavator & dig it up...replaced the plugged section w/ PVC pipe & then back fill the deep-a$$ trench they dug. The amount of sh*t water that came out when they cut out that section of pipe was astonishing.🤢 Now all I have to do is recap the 2 clean-outs in the yard & then wait for the (probably Stoopid expensive bill) the show up.🙄 Fortunately, the neighbor has agree'd to split the bill w/ me since his 130 y/o house was probably the 1st house on this hillside back in the day. I'm just glad it's done. Next ordeal is to start collecting materials to re-roof my garden shed....which should be a lot easier on the wallet.👍

After visiting my wife in hospital I thought I would take a look at the car.

The high level brake light does not illuminate, took a gander at it, can I see how to remove it!,  can I hell as like, no visible screws,  looked on YouTube,  it says there are 2 Torx screws?..so where the hell are they?

Part 2 of the job tomorrow, I bet I bust it. 😂

If it hasn't been moved for a while the gasket between can stick assisting the busting process so go carefully. 
If I remember right they're led and common for failing.

Yeh it's LED, I am not expecting that I can fix/repair/bodge it, just want to be able to remove it for when I have a replacement to be fitted... 👍

I did a quick search and it looks like you have to remove the trim piece that the light is housed in first which if it like the one in the video runs fully along the top of the rear hatch. Good thing is that pattern part lights are available for under £20.

I did remove the trim, there are 2 holes which are directly behind the light, I can see in there and there are no screws, or what appear to be clips.

I think @Catteeclan,s suggestion that the light unit just clips into the cut out in the tailgate, and needs levering out.... but as I say, I will most likely (definitely 😂) bust it in the process of removal,  I will order a new one, which may give me the solution as to how it is fitted into the tailgate..

It looks like it depends on the year, some are saying you can get a flat bladed screwdriver into the right hand side and lever it out.

That maybe so, I want/need the new lamp 1st, don't want to bust the one that is in at the moment, I would have to put gaffer tape over the hole if i was not able to refit the non functioning light, i would end up with a tailgate full of water. 😂
