DRL cover (cap) .. I've lost it :( - Turner_SRi - 2:nd-Jun-2014
I was switching over my DRL's on Sunday afternoon upgrading them to PolarG's and I assumed that I had securely put on the cap, only noticing after washing the car my headlight had condensation inside.. I must not have put the cap on properly and it's dropped out the engine bay and is currently in destination unknown..
Where can I get a spare?!

you would have to go a vauxhall dealers like lookers and get a new one it shouldn't cost to much

Can't you cover it with a bit of tape in the mean time

Thank you Tucpal, won't be losing another one in a hurry..

Yes I suppose I could as a temporary fix

Would stop it misting up. Could try contacting someone on eBay who is braking an J, might be cheaper and quicker.

Which side is missing? The passenger side one often drops down between the wheel arch and liner, get a torch and have a good look, also if you tap the arch at the top it will rattle if it's there

It was indeed the passenger I had a real good look with the touch and nothing :( haven't tapped any arches though

If I undo the arch liner you think it will be there?

Just looked at my car, it's not the arch liner, it's the arch,
It's between the fuse box and the light but it drops down the arch, I'm 99% sure it will be there! have a fiddle

also check the plastic splash guard under neath the car

I'm pretty sure it's able to slip under the light then down and out of the engine bay, damn thing :( will double check this weekend as I'm away

Managed to get a new coil pack and thermostat housing also and all the dead spots in 2,3 and 4th are now gone

Yeah it's the 1.6, unfortunately didn't do it myself as it was in the garages hands under warranty
