It just fell out......
Well fortunately it didn't fall out, but it would have had I driven the car.
The lens was stuck on with silicon, which I believe is a common practice; I've done it myself before.What I think happened is that the car has been parked facing the hot sun for several days, and the build up of heat had popped the seal and possibly melted the silicon.I can't be sure, as I noticed it had happened in the early morning and the silicon was set but the lens loose.
By coincidence this may have happened on my diesel 205.I noticed one day (again in summer) that one of the headlamp lenses was missing.I know I didn't break it, and there was no other damage.I reckon it must have dropped off on the road.
I've stuck it back in with plenty of bathroom tile cement, so hopefully the problem won't recur.
