My headlamp bulb clips have come adrift and as the local gynaecologist is busy at the mo I'll have to remove the headlamps to get access to refit them. This guide helps a lot, thanks.

Re. the washer jet cover - Carefully lift and pull the washer cover forward, this pulls out the washer arm too. Hold the arm out with one hand and push the cover back against the spring. This allows the cover's U shaped plastic fixing bracket to be removed one side at a time from the two lugs holding it in place. Don't lose the spring! The only other difference I noticed to captcaveman's guide for pre-facelift cars is that the top Torx screw in the wheel arch removes completely and then there is a stud fastener at the very bottom of the bumper's rear corner which needs to be prised out from underneath with a thin blunt blade/knife. Relocate by hand and then give it a gentle tap with hammer etc to drive it home when refitting bumper. BTW - the 3 Torx screws securing the foglights to the bumper were really loose on my car, so worth checking out while the bumper's off. I also widened the gait of the wire clips so they fitted more securely into the lugs, so less likely to come adrift again. HTH

Facelift model V70 - front bumper
I've just had to remove the front bumper cover on my 54-reg (05 model year) facelift V70 in order to change the windscreen washer pump. It's quite a bit easier than on the pre-facelift model as the bumper inserts don't need to be removed. There's a good guide, with pictures, on the T5/D5 forum:

That's a useful post!
One comment though - on the S60 it's a bit more fiddly as the washer jets are of a different design (and I've not worked that bit out yet!!)

This is very useful, does anyone know what size Torx I need to do this job? I've got the 10 and 12mm sockets but I'll need to buy the Torx.
Thanks, Martin.

You can buy a set of torx bits for a reasonable price. This should give you all the sizes you need..
