How do I replace the tail light (in the rear bumper) on my 1996 Disco please?

The lamp holder is a twist-lock type, get underneath and unplug the cable off the back of the holder and twist. It can be a bit fiddly due to the brackets but it comes out eventually.

it is inded fiddly and even trickier to line up to get back in so remember which way it came out! I have some spares somewhere if you get cross and break it!

Ah yes, the connector and blub hold are broken, the bulb is OK.  I need both new bits, do you have those please?
