how do you remove the front bumper on a p38 1995 diesel please got to take it off due to a dickhead pulling out in front of me and putting the range into some metal railings :mad:
 
Undo a clip either side of the front valance underneath then undo the two bolts under the front bumper and slide it forward.
10 min job unless the bolts haven't been out in 18 years and have rusted in. Then a nightmare.
 
When you undo the bolts, the bumper should drop a few mm to release the upper locating pegs. It may need a thump on the top surface. It will not pull forward until it drops.
 
They do sometimes stick as said above so don't be frightened to give it a small thump to loosen it a little ! It's quite an easy job better if two of you on it to hold it!
 
just ordered my new bumper should be here next week thanks for the two person tip il pop into my mates garage to do it then he can give me a hand with it
 
does anyone know what size socket is it for the bumper bolts please just incase i need to buy one
 
Tried to remove my front bumper today ready to prime it tomorrow. Undone the wire clips each side that locate the plastic profile rail in place undone the two torx bolts and used a rubber mallet but it wouldn't budge an inch. So probably gonna take fogs out and mask up the car and spray it on the car.
