I have a 2004 Discovery 2 with the supposedly sealed headlamp unit. I have managed to get dirty water inside the unit. I have dried the unit out but the inside of the glass is dirty.

Does anyone know whether these units can be stripped for cleaning?

Thanks

Neil

with a big hammer you can do anything other than that no not realy only flushing it out with clean water

As above

Flush with clean water then leave a hot air blower on it for a while or the mrs hairdryer!!

(not melting any plastic parts)

Sorted.

I am not totally sure. I noticed the water the day after going through a car wash. The only thing I can find is that the rubber washer on one of the sealing caps wasn't seated properly but I can't understand how that would let so much water in. I am keeping an eye on it.
