1999 v70 loose door courtesy lights

As title, what clips these into place as my rear door ones are tight but on both front doors they are loose? and bulb holder just pops out as nothing there to secure it.

Thanks!

Re: 1998 s70 Car wouldn't start, low idle.

Cheers for the videos and replies. Yes the MAF sensor was BOSCH and it failed within 2 weeks (which I know is rare) and had it replaced under warranty. No issues driving the car today but will have an inspection as its no fun thinking if the car will start in the morning!

Car hasn't been used for a week and went to start yesterday, wouldn't start, all lights where working but wouldn't turn so I thought battery may have lost some power but after numerous attempts I held the key down and it started very rough, rumbling its way to idle and then sat at 800rpm which it is...

Re: how do i check front shocks for leaks

Yeah, it'll throw off the rear trailing link and the whole back end of the car will flop around. Mine felt super clumsy when I had a minor accident that knocked off the alignment of one of the back tires. It felt like it was driving similar to the first time I ever went skiing. Cheers. What happene...

Re: how do i check front shocks for leaks

ok cheers.

Would one leaking shock (rear driver side) be enough of a problem to cause the car to slightly sway and bottom out when going over bumps?
