Thought I'd introduce myself quickly. 2014 Insignia owner (two or three previous owners), very happy with it overall. Joined up to get help with a specific issue (I'm really not a car person so limited knowledge) but, after reading through some of the threads here, there's clearly a lot of very useful things to explore! I'm not likely to post much, I don't know anything useful about cars to share with you all!

Good afternoon all, I've just had my 2014 Insignia fail its MOT due to "Position Lamp not working Nearside Front". They've not been able to say exactly why it's not working, but did mention that there had also been water inside the headlight. The rest of the lights in that assembly are working fine, from what they say. The garage is saying the headlight assembly needs to replaced and has confirmed the specific headlight needed is, "1ZT 011 166-731". The garage can't source one and it appears to be out of stock everywhere that I've looked, with one company saying they're not expecting to see any more before February, if at all. The scrappers I've talked to locally haven't got anything. I've found some second hand ones online but they are mostly out of my budget for the next few months for unrelated reasons! Does anyone know if this is something I, as a reasonably terrible DIY person with limited tools, would have any realistic chance of sorting out myself? I've seen some places (a few on eBAY) advertising a repair service that is within budget. Does anyone have any experience with these? To be honest they have the feel of "bloke in a shed" rather than an actual repair shop - though I accept that a talented bloke in a shed can still do a grand job!
