Neither car blows bulbs all that often. Even the nightbreakers on front. Some rear bulbs are still factory at 10+ years. Don't see the value in the bulb warning thing really unless it was wired to some kinda random electrical shock system for people who won't replace headlights.

I have mine nearly a year and I've seen the light once. I suppose it's handy in ways but hardly a big deal to have to manually check your lights every week or so.

Do you know can you use an axa discount card if paying with a halfords voucher also I assume if what you buy comes to more than what's on the voucher you can sub it with cash.

No hassle if you forget. It's just I have a voucher in my glove box since christmas so want to use it up might get one of the half price tool sets while there on offer. Not the end of the world if I can't get the 10% off.

Saw a dublin counsel tow truck towing an Audi A6 with the handbrake still on, smoke pouring from the rear wheels. I wonder who pays for that damage...

The owner, I'd imagine.
It could be worse if the a6 was a quattro! Eek!

Should have taken a pic. No doubt they'll deny all knowledge of it to the owner.

If he could get the scrapes off and the car was sound otherwise, then it should be grand.

We have cats around the farmyard here and they have scrapes just like that all over the bonnet of the jeep :pac:
