Was looking into the long life ones, especially as they're auto on lights which are nearly on the entire time.

H7s are expensive things though

Got some for the mothers i30 there last week, worked around €18 on trade card, think they're €25 retail

Standard ones lasted her 6 weeks, got 13 months out of these. 17 inch wheels, lowered suspension and potholes are a bad combination.

Looks like I've to get another car to polish. Deposit taken and it's going on Sunday. Now I need to decide what I want and how much I want to spend. A friend suggested I try find a good clean 406 HDI Rapier. My family suggested I buy a new car as everything else I touch seems to fall apart. I'm currently open to suggestions.

Perodua Myvi - it'll send you back to loving all the cars which have caused you grief in the past.

I'd say you have a bad earth somewhere, although they do have a fault on the light switch/ indicator cluster. Your lights could be flicking on when you indicate.
But in 4 yrs with a c5 mine was not hard on bulbs.

My suspension issues appear to be from the rear, I'm getting what I can only describe as a triple fart on the nearside when I turn all day today:(

Expecting a rather bad result.

Got to have a bit of a poke (not a drive) around the new Lexus is300h.

Nope be grand

Tyre wall will be 12.75mm taller. If your rims and arches can handle that I'd take them. More comfort too.
