The mazda 323 I posted here a couple of weeks ago.
You have never seen a kid so happy in your life:)

Jaysus F Christ.... the microwave in my apartment just start sparking and banging! :eek: My wife had just put some soup on in one of those cardboard containers. Scared the crap out of us. Smells like burnt wiring now.

So in NZ now and standing the street you hear.. no diesel clatter! Yay!
Nothing more confused austerity than a 2013 BMW Coupe that sounds like an old motorbike. Lots of blow off booosst sounds from the jap scrap though.

I remember the horror of trying to replace the headlamps on the OHs C5, they are a right headwreck.

Some Halfords in the UK exclude them from their bulb fitting service as they take too long

Shouldn't be going after eight weeks tho!

I might try look at the multimeter tomorrow and see what I can find. They go at an alarming rate and your right they are a pain in the behind to replace. Especially the drivers side one, where the hydraulic pump is. The other isnt so bad with the battery that you can remove.

Sports aside, I've broken two fingers, crushed the top of another, smashed my collarbone, fractured my hip, crocked my knee and had various other non breaking of bones injuries.

Jaysus, I've only scars from various knives in my hands and so on, and a drill bit through my finger
