Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Very silly question but one the drivers manual dosen't really make clear but on my 54 4S should there be a rear fog light on both rear light clusters or just one on the offside? Doing a bulb check before MOT and only one side lights up (offside). Bulbs gone on nearside me thinks and replace with a new bulb but no light when the fogs are switched on. Re-checked it with a known working bulb so not the bulb. There is meant to be a nearside fog right? Arbee

POST 2Original post

No - you only have a fog light on the RHS. The one on the left isn't connected, but they often put a bulb in the holder!

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well that's a relief Richard. When there is a wired bulb holder and a bulb in the cluster it kinda says it must be for something wouldn't you say? Very confusing. Now I know where to find a spare bulb, (as well as the two new ones I bought today!!!) Thanks again mate RB

POST 4Original post

Why do manufacturers do that - seems to be cost cutting to the extreme ... do they think we never go to Belgium in the autumn, or something ?
