    Anyone any idea Halfords would charge me to replace a headlight bulb?

    It's 7.99 afaik. That's what it said on the sign last time I was in there anyway.

    Make 'em change on on a MkII Megane for 7.99

    It's money well spent there.

    Getting a bulb into the old Scenic involved removed the headlight - it couldn't be done by hand.

    What happens if a learner driver crashes on a motorway? Does their insurance cover it?

    I think they would cover you unless stated in their T&C's.

    Not supposed to perhaps. But it's not hard to take a wrong turn off a roundabout. Or for that matter, get caught out when a dual carriageway turns into a motorway and the first warning of it happening comes right after you've passed your last chance to turn off

    When I was learning, I stumbled onto the M3.... on only my second time behind the wheel. That was fun.

    Wrong turns happen. Oftentimes it's better to just carry on and get off when you, than stop and switch drivers on the hard shoulder.

    Painted my M calipers blue as red was so last year. Also have blue (as supplied) dust boots on the new Bilstein B12 shock/spring setup Ive just installed. And Yellow shock tubes. And EBC Yellowstuff pads.

    The BMW E31 is all about tastelessness and decadence, which is why its awesome. :D

    Risked Halfraud's for a bulb change today. Thing is, the grille has to come off (3 screws plus clips) then the whole Xenon unit needs to come out (3 more screws, back panels etc) all to change a single sidelight/positioning list which cost £2.99 plus same again for fitting. 3 guys refused before 1 agreed to do it; he said I was lucky they had a qualified mechanic - he got a tip for his efforts. I won't be shy in changing it myself the next time.
