hi guys after a 400 mile drive i got home to find tht my baumper had started to drop?!?! does anyone know a way of fixxin it and what it could be??? cheers guys?

It just looks like the bolts under the lights have come loose, take your lights out and have a look for some bolts, there either loose or missing.

Yeah just bumper bolts a bit loose.

Jack the car up, undo the bolts slightly first to allow movement to be earier (side bracket where bumper meets arch and the one under the light.

get someone to then hold the bumper up tightly into its proper position (its very hard to manage this on your own as its tricky to hold it tight enough)

then do up those bolts again very tightly. should sort the problem easily

take the arch liner out, easier to see the bolt thats not there or loose

cheers guys! will go look at these once the bloody rain has stopped!

Mate theres 6 bolts holding the bumper on. On each side there is; one under the rear light. One under the bumper, near the spare wheel and one behind the wheel liner.

Check that all of these bolts are tight as the fixing may have slipped, causing the bumper to "sag".

Its more than likely to be the one under the rear light but could also be the one at the corner of the bumper, behind the wheel arch lining.
