I have broken my third brake light on the boot. How easy is it to change and where is the best place to buy it for the right money?
Must be BM genuine part. Help would be appreciated.

If it's a clear light and the damage isn't too bad, I would be interested in buying the damaged one from you?

Sorry its red

Hiya - ok I replaced mine recently and I have no idea about car repairs NOT A CLUE !
It took me about 35 mins even got dirty hands and a brew outside from Mrs Badger you will need a long reach socket
(OMG) I actually sound like I know what I'm talking about !!!!!!!!!!

I got my new lamp from the stealers it was about £80 but fit perfect - if I can do it anyone can !

Go for it -

Thanks for that i am usually apprehensive about this sort of thing but thats give me a bit of confidence.

Make sure you get the updated springs as they are not so strong as the old ones which causes the prob in the first place. Also, if you take out the vent looking pieces of trim (you will see them, they are directly behind the light on the inner boot lid trim) this will make it much easier for you.

Thanks Tug.

£70 quid from Sopers with discount?? Can that be right?

A good price. I paid £73.30 inc. from Sytner leicester. Go for it. But the updated springs will probably be @ £2.50 each. But still a good price.
